The principal developments in Spanish American poetry in the second
half of the twentieth century. Providing a basis for understanding
the main lines of development of poetry in Spanish America after
Vanguardism, this volume begins with an overview of the situation
at the mid-century: the later work of Neruda and Borges, the
emergence of Paz. Consideration is then given to the decisive
impact of Parra and the rise of colloquial poetry, politico-social
poetry [Dalton, Cardenal] and representative figures such as
Orozco, Pacheco and Cisneros. Theaim is to establish a few paths
through the largely unmapped jungle of Spanish American poetry in
the time period. The author emphasises the persistence of a
generally negative view of the human condition and the poets'
exploration of different ways of responding to it. These vary from
outright scepticism to the ideological, the religious or those
derived from some degree of confidence in the creative imagination
as cognitive. At the same time there is analysis of the evolving
outlook on poetry of the writers in question, both in regard to its
possible social role and in regard to diction. DONALD SHAW holds
the Brown Forman Chair of Spanish American literature in the
University of Virginia.
