摘要：This article deals with Umbral’s little-studied relationship with the radio, and explores, through the analysis of various references in his literary and journalistic work, the conception that the writer had of this medium. Towards the end of his life, between 1999 and 2001, Umbral gave a daily radio commentary on the Onda Cero radio station entitled La Orquidea (The Orchid) , during which he presented texts with an intense lyrical tone combining poetry and topicality. They are of considerable significance in understanding Umbral’s creative processes in those years given the abundant intertextual connections that can be found in them in relation to the body of work from that time, especially with his poems —published posthumously in 2009—, Un ser de lejanías, Los alucinados and his column in El Mundo “Los placeres y los días” (“The pleasures and the days”).
