Eros and commitment. The new realism in Erika Martinez's poetry

Abstract

Realistic spanish poetry opened new paths between 1990-2000 seeking new perspectives in the face of the denotative clarity of the 1980 year, whwre the "new sentimentality" seemed to take center stage. From Jorge gimeno or carlos Pardo or even Josep maría rodríguez, games began with the synecdoche and the fragment, to show a new way of telling things and that, in more recent proposals, have envolved towards a complex angle or perspective, to take up the idea of commitment (carefully circumvented in the verse in the 80s), in the face of the new reality. Erika martínez's poetry responds to all this and supposes, together with Marisa martínez Pérsico, a new path that denotes and circumvents these issues from a disconcerting realism at times, and that is used in the "proem" as a new formula according to the times that run.
