The expression of eros and sexuality in women’s present-day poetry (1994-2019)

Abstract

Since the 1990s of the 20th century and coinciding with the appearance of a new generation of poets, eroticism and sexuality have been rejoined as poetic themes into the work of new Spanish authors, poets born between the seventies and nineties and whose literary career begins in the 21st century. Both topics, taboos in the Spanish poetry before 1975, now appear as a formal and everyday element in poetry. This article includes these topics in the work of twenty Spanish authors, thus showing the presence of eroticism and sex as singular issues in the new poetry today.
