"Poetas hispanoamericanas contemporáneas: poéticas y metapoéticas (Siglos XX-XXI) reúne estudios sobre las poéticas -fundamentalmente las «poéticas explícitas de poetas» (Demmers), con la inclusión de las artes poéticas-, en torno a otros poemas y textos metapoéticos, y sobre las poéticas implícitas.El aporte fundamental del libro radica en la valorización del elemento metapoético y autorreflexivo en las poetas hispanoamericanas, ya que la investigación en torno al arte poética y a la metapoesía se ha centrado ante todo, hasta hoy, en autores masculinos.Con sus acercamientos a Gabriela Mistral, Claribel Alegría, Ana Enriqueta Terán, Carilda Oliver, Amanda Berenguer, Fina García Marruz, Rosario Castellanos, Susana Thénon, Carmen Ollé, Cristina Peri Rossi, Reina María Rodríguez, Tamara Kamenszain, Cristina Rivera Garza, entre otras, el libro pretende contribuir a abrir el canon metapoético a la escritura de las mujeres."-- Amazon.

Studying the dialogue between literature and philosophy in the Spanish exile in Latin America requires a historiographical effort, since the exile is framed in a historical before and after: in the "before" of its traditional context, that of the ideas belonging to the place of origin prior to exile. These ideas, capable of developing or changing in the "after" of the post-exile world (in this case, the Spanish-American world), give life to the poetic and philosophical works gestated in the land where the exiles found the protection and shelter of a new homeland: Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela. This book offers interdisciplinary elements to map the paths in which a group of authors whose life and work was marked, directly or indirectly, by the experience of exile cross: Max Aub, Luis Cernuda, José Gaos, Manuel García Morente, Juan Larrea , Eduardo Nicol, Alfonso Reyes, Josep Solanes and María Zambrano. The texts thematize the work, context, and influences of writers, poets, and philosophers who arrived in Latin America fleeing political persecution and the Civil War in Spain. Many of the exiles saw in the nation that welcomed them the opportunity for a new beginning, others, on the other hand, the place of eternal nostalgia and permanent mourning for their lost home. In all cases, this circumstance was reflected in the work of the exile authors discussed here, in their efforts to reinvent literature, philosophy or the relationship between the two, as well as in their contributions to the dissemination of these two disciplines in organs cultural institutions such as educational institutions, publishing houses and magazines.
