La revista Ínsula y su recepción del cambio poético entre los años 1966 y 1983

Abstract

This paper describes how the journal Insula received the transformation of Spanish poetry during the 60’ decade of the last century. More specifically, the work focuses on the authors who soon would be known as novisimos and on those who later distanced themselves from the culturalism and the experimentalism of the former ones. The work of the novisimos was actually welcome in the pages of the journal. Nevertheless, it lacked the enthusiasm given in those same years -and, above all, from the mid-seventies on- to the poetics of the non- novisimos , a group characterized by the continuity in relation to the poetry of the 50’ decade. If we consider the attitude of its most regular critics, Insula dedicated more space and a better opinion to these latter poets and to those who began publishing their books from the mid-70s, the poetry of experience, neosurrealism, the poetics of silence.
