Abstract

This paper seeks to interpret the choice by some Peninsular women poets of what would initially seem to be mere traces, sheer remnants of the epistolary genre. To this end, a score of 20th and early 21st century works of Contemporary Peninsular Spanish women poets will be analyzed, bearing witness to a singular poetic reality, inasmuch they share an approach to the epistolary genre, and scrutinizing their connections with the literary tradition. By resorting to J. Culler's analysis of the apostrophe as a framework of reference, as well as to a specific analysis of the literary techniques and rhetorical figures involved, a cross-sectional study of the epistolary dimension of Peninsular, Contemporary women's poetry is conducted. This includes, among others, works by Rosa Chacel, Ernestina de Champourcin, Gloria Fuertes, Maria Victoria Atencia, Julia Uceda, y Eloisa Otero.

El presente artículo se propone interpretar la elección por parte de algunas poetas de lo que a priori parecieran meras huellas, vestigios del género epistolar. Con ese objetivo se analizarán obras de distintos momentos y generaciones de la poesía española contemporánea del siglo XX y hasta nuestros días que tienen como común denominador su acercamiento a lo epistolar. Bus-camos dar testimonio de una realidad poética singular, amén de examinar sus conexiones con la tradición. Utilizando como marco referencial el estudio del apóstrofe propuesto por J. Culler, se llevará a cabo un recorrido transversal de lo epistolar, así como un análisis de las técnicas y fi-guras retóricas relacionadas, en la poesía peninsular contemporánea escrita por mujeres que in-cluirá, entre otras, a Rosa Chacel, Ernestina de Champourcín, Gloria Fuertes, María Victoria Atencia, Julia Uceda y Eloísa Otero.
