This study focuses on the role and value of void and silence in José Ángel Valente’s poetry. In this light, the void can be seen as the origin and end of Valente’s work. On the one hand, the void signals the source from which the poetic word grows. On the other, it refers to the kind of emptiness characteristic of a sacred space in a transcendental order. In this way, the notion of void, silence, or nothingness can be viewed as a double pole of attraction whose boundaries reflect the movement of the poetic word. Considering its spiritual nature, this word undergoes a series of metamorphoses between these two poles.
