Abstract

This article analyzes the poetics of an interior journey expressed by Esther Seligson in her book Everything Here is Dust. We´re interested in pointing out that the cultural load of her ancestors caused cracks and hereditary regrets, as a secondary identity layer, such existential state is articulated through the word of her own, and through the ideas of philosophers in exile, through Jewish women writers such as herself, and through other references that highlight Gaston Bachelard’s thinking.
