From notions of art for art's sake to committed poetry, it may seem
that poets cannot achieve reconciliation between the politics and
poetry. However, among committed Communist poets of the 20th
century of the Spanish-speaking world, three poets stand out as
examples of a search to bring together their political and their
poetic commitments: Rafael Alberti, Nicolas Guillen, and Pablo
Neruda. Political Poetry in the Wake of the Second Spanish Republic
analyzes the simultaneous development of politics and poetics in
these three Spanish-language poets as it was nurtured by the Second
Spanish Republic (1931-1939). Beginning in these years, Alberti,
Guillen, and Neruda strove to tackle the challenge of committing to
their own independent poetic projects and to their politics at the
same time. Later, these three poets maintained their Communist
Party affiliation until their deaths and produced collection after
collection of quality poetry. Despite the differences in their
overall poetic trajectories and projects, the ability to maneuver
between politics and poetry without sacrificing either one is
common among them. Because of their unique experiences during the
time of the Second Spanish Republic in Spain, each author
explicitly denounced the injustices that the opposing Franquist
forces had committed against the Republic. After the fall of the
Republic in 1939, Alberti, Guillen, and Neruda continued to
intertwine their politics with their poems only in a less obvious
manner. Therefore, each could solidify his position within the
poetic canon while at the same time each could maintain his
position as a committed (or at least card-carrying) Communist.
