This article offers an exploratory study on Poemas (1962) of the Costa Rican Jose Leon Sanchez. In this poetry book, the spatialism of rootlessness is built on a system of five imaginary and semantic plots. These materialize the power relations and social pressures on San Lucas presidium and, thus, on lyrical subjectivation. Such plots are 1) the verse plot; 2) the oppression plot, which embraces the places of the restraint, the death and the prayer; 3) the outside plot in which the places of the hope and the memory are outlined; 4) the harmony plot; 5) the border plot. Within this complex and interrelated poli-parcel system, the spatialism of rootlessness is verbalized by catamorphic symbols and repetition figure allied to other significant rhetorical and generic resources.
