This lecture wonders about the specific way in which poetry relates with the place experience and tries to argue the aptness of some of the notions used to characterize this relation. In base of the analysis of different place experience (experiencia del lugar) staged by the frontier poetry of the poets Gabriela Mistral, Violeta Parra, Elicura Chihuailaf and Raúl Zurita it will be argued the notion of “lof” as the epistemological and esthetic key, which will allow to fully understand its propositions and holly render account of each of their place experiences, both ethics and esthetics, overcoming in certain way the limitations of the notions of “landscape”, “poetics of space” (Bachelard) and “thirdspace” (Soja). It is demonstrated that every single one of these poets inhabit a space in the sense of the “lof” and give meaning to it through their words, based on the logic of the indigenous cultures. Most of the time, this is what mobilized their poetics and cultural projects, though if you compare them carefully there are many nuances, especially because of the differences on historical and artistic contexts in which each of them developed their poetics. It is worth mentioning that the concept of “lof” has been taken from mapuche epistemology (mapu: earth; che: people).
