Abstract

Basque poet Blas de Otero (1916-1979) is mainly known for being one of the greatest actors in social poetry. Publications as Pido la paz y la palabra (1955) confi rm a poetic voice who defends ideas of political freedom for a peace-claiming society. However, the progressive breakdown of his metric due to his poetic changes —which lead him to a metric «of the air»—, make us wonder if political commitment can develop in new metric forms, especially during his late poetry.
