Roger Wolfe and Karmelo Iribarren: Solitudes, networks and poetics association

Abstract

The work proposes to focus on two Spanish poets: Roger Wolfe (England, 1962) and Karmelo Iribarren (San Sebastián, 1959). We proposed to analyze these “uncomfortable” presences in the cultural map of the 90s, with emphasis in their isolation and separation of collective views on the poetic exercise. However, we detected several parallels and crosses between them, that allow to think of a grouping or association between them (Paula Bruno), in the broader field of sociability and a sociological view of the poetic fact. Thus, we can rethink their author projects and their positions in the contemporary Spanish field.
