This article analyzes three poetic texts written by Begoña Ugalde (Chile, 1984) between 2011 and 2018: La Virgen de las antenas (2011), Lunares (2016) and Poemas sobre mi normalidad (2018). It argues that these texts constitute a poetics of alliances, which is understood as a poetic-political discourse that is representative, in generational terms, of a position that is committed to social integration. This poetics is revealed in three literary strategies:
1. The representation of poetic subjectivity in the cycles of life: childhood, youth, and maturity; 2. Recurring topics: the holy rosary, the lunar system, family constellations; and 3. Images relating to women: mother-daughter relationships, sisters, female friends, women-writer-artists.
