Sumario:This essay examines the poetry of Ecuadorian David Ledesma Vázquez from some of the theoretical concepts proposed by Kristeva and Butler for the understanding of how a consciousness of being abject is consolidated before the other, and how from there, and from a very careful handling of the poetic word and certain typographic resources, an amatory universe is constructed which is opposed to the hetero-normative apparatus and focuses on the affections. It also highlights, in this same line of resistance, how Ledesma Vázquez ‘s poetry questions the uniformed violence of modern life and the impulse of capitalism, in particular, by contrasting the hostility of the real city - drawn in several textswith the harmony of Sodom.
