Description
The Poets of the Coming
Book Summary
This anthology brings together a group of poets of diverse aesthetics who shared their trajectory in the magazine Cuadernos del Matemático. Each author has personally selected ten poems: five from their published works and five unpublished, offering a current view of their writing. The result is a rigorous and representative collection of contemporary poetry, where the reader will discover both the evolution and the most recent creations of each poet.
What is it about?
The book presents a poetic selection that arises from the connection with the magazine Cuadernos del Matemático, directed for twenty-five years by Cristóbal López de la Manzanara. The uniqueness of this anthology lies in the fact that each poet has freely chosen their texts, combining previously published poems with unpublished ones. This dual selection allows one to appreciate the consolidated trajectory of the authors and, at the same time, their most current work. The heterogeneity of styles and approaches enriches the whole, offering a diverse sample of contemporary poetry in Spanish.
