Poesía argentina de los últimos años. Soledad Castresana

Abstract

The scene of Argentine poetry from 2000 to 2017, which we articulated fundamentally going through the anthologies of the time, presents a moment of transition, with an unknown lead, distinguished by the atomization and diversification of the concept of poetry. In the checked anthologies, two labels stand out: “post” – one of the only things clear is what is left behind - and “young” - associated with being a digital native -. In this framework we make a point on the poetry produced by women and, especially, in that of Soledad Castresana (La Pampa, 1979), who to date has published Carneada (2007), Selección Natural (2011) and Contra la locura (2015). In all three cases, with different aesthetics, we find a vision of the world largely influenced by the presence of animality and by what is no longer affected by reasoning. Undoubtedly, Castresana, who has the capacity to find everyday life “a cotyledon of strangeness” (Salzano), is “one of the most interesting Argentine poets of his generation” (Solinas).
