ISBN: 978-1-58498-087-2, paper, $18.95

“The poetic texts chosen and translated here represent a profound transition — psychological and  political — undergone by  the  new  Spanish citizen. This anthology focuses on the poetry written in Spain after 1975. All the poets included were raised under Franco’s dictatorship, which lasted forty years. Those born in the sixties or later, such as Ernesto López García and Luis Muñoz,lived under the dictatorial regime for less than a decade; consequently, they  experienced the dictatorship as a vague
memory rather than as a foundation, unlike the older poets. In any case, the social reality after Franco’s death in 1975 was very different from that in which all of these poets had been raised.A new conception of the self had to emerge after the transition to democracy, and this was expressedin the work of many poets as a liberating, though painful,transformation, a transformation that affected the very concept of language. Naturally, the radical reinvention of language produceda reinvention
of the self.” —from the introduction by MartaLópez-Luaces
