Frames of Referents: The Postmodern Poetry of Guillermo Carnero

This book examines the work of Guillermo Carnero, one of Spain’s most important contemporary poets, in the context of the critical theories developed in the West after World War II that inform all of Carnero’s writing.
Previous critical studies have tried to link Carnero’s poetry to that of other novisimo poets within the narrow confines of Spanish poetics and literary history. This study seeks to move beyond the limiting perspective of the Spanish generational paradigm.
