This paper analyzes Sin ruido (2013), the poetry book by the Spanish poet from Castile-La Mancha, José Corredor-Matheos. Litotes is approached both as a figure for attenuation and, beyond that, as a mechanism that subsumes certain distinctive traits of his poetics across his most mature production. Such traits reinforce the author’s consistency and his commitment to the poetry of simplicity and divestment, its positioning in form and with form, and the exploration of the negative as a device for semantic enhancement and enrichment of nuance when facing old age and death.
