La generación que ha debutado en el siglo XXI viene con nuevos temas y nuevas formas, y una calidad que no entiende de tiempos.Los poetas españoles que nacieron en la década de los 90 andan acuñando nuevos topicos al tiempo que reformulan o impugnan los heredados. Ha vuelto (por sorpresa) el cristianismo, se han actualizado los poemas de amor (de signo homosexual en muchos casos) y sigue la filologia haciendo de las suyas con sus juegos, con la propia cultura. Deslenguadas, nerviosos y mas o menos libres, han sufrido con fuerza la precariedad, se han encontrado con una concepcion mas hostil de las ciudades, y han dado muchas vueltas a la vocacion, el mundo laboral, las drogas, el sexo o los viajes. Experimentales o endecasilabistas, torrenciales o laconicas, lo natural en cada caso es cierta dispersion autoconsciente, en general feliz (y a veces abiertamente comica), y una estupenda diversidad en lo que al grupo aqui convocado se refiere: veintisiete poetas entre los 35 y los 25 años que han traido a la poesia en castellano un feminismo renovado, a veces un culturalismo neo-novisimo y a ratos algo de locura, un desbarre ilustrado y un presentismo alegre, un hedonismo que reivindica la amistad. Aqui no hay decepcion, hay inquietud: bastante formacion intelectual, poco futuro y ningun hijo real en un contexto en el que les ha tocado estar mas atentos al Ikea que a los vencejos (aunque tambien los hay), prestar mas atencion a Netflix que a los cerezos. La primera generacion de poetas españoles, y en español, que ha debutado ya en el siglo XXI viene con nuevos temas y nuevas formas y, lo que mas importa, con una calidad que no entiende de tiempos, con la cuota de talento natural de siempre. No se dejan atropellar: antes atropellarian ellas y ellos. Y no les gusta mucho sentirse antologados.

And, possibly, more vital.If these translations take liberties, none are unforgivable. The spirit of each poem remains unblemished. Here, veteran writers, such as Menna Elfyn, Karen Owen and Iwan Llwyd, mix with the next generations Iestyn Tyne, Llyr Gwyn and Sian Northey. Alcatraz is an essential work for anyone interested in the good health of modern poetry in the UK.

In the introduction to his selection of some of the greatest sonnets ever written, Paul Muldoon reminds us that of the innumerable traditional verse forms, the sonnet is not only the most persistent but also the most pervasive. He suggests that part of the reason for the durability of the sonnet is its very duration. Its the perfect length for what Dante Gabriel Rossetti described as a moments monument, or Edna St. Vincent Millay as putting chaos into fourteen lines. Among the diverting and diverse poets represented here are Elizabeth Bishop, Wanda Coleman, John Donne, Terrance Hayes, John Keats, Claude McKay, Christina Rossetti, William Shakespeare, Patricia Smith, William Wordsworth, and W.B. Yeats. There are also translations by Paul Muldoon of sonnets by Charles Baudelaire, Rainer Maria Rilke, Cesar Vallejo, as well as the doughty duo of Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud.
