Summary
In the same way as the popular returns to poetic discourses, as studied in Chapter 14, so does the Baroque – an aesthetic which, as Bolívar Echeverría has taught us, is not a passing phase, but rather one of modernity’s faces. In this chapter, a panoply of authors – some of them included in the seminal Medusario anthology, some of them readers of it – are considered in the light of the Neobaroque and postpoetry. The authors discussed include Gerardo Deniz, David Huerta, Coral Bracho, Myriam Moscona, Luis Felipe Fabre, Ricardo Cázares, and Alejandro Tarrab.
