Abstract
La poesía de Xavier Guillén representa uno de los casos más recientes en la perpetuación de una escuela de escritura que, en líneas generales, viene siendo hegemónica, sobre todo a nivel institucional, en el campo literario español desde los años ochenta hasta la fecha. Este artículo ensaya un análisis estilístico de los textos de su segundo libro, Amo de casa (2021), revelando su reproducción de las características formales y su reformulación de los postulados estético-ideológicos de la llamada poesía de la experiencia y sus continuadores, haciendo especial hincapié tanto en lo que su propuesta tiene de continuidad como de individuación frente a los mismos. A este fin, se facilita al lector una presentación introductoria acerca de los orígenes de esta escuela y sus principales ideas sobre la creación literaria: su modelo de poema, la objetivación del sujeto poético y la toma de distancia emocional como método de escritura y su idea de la poesía como género de ficción. Se comenta, entre otras cosas, el asunto de la estructura interna de los libros de poesía, la cuestión de la literatura como un oficio (las nociones idealistas frente a las mundanales de la poesía) y el protagonismo de las relaciones familiares en la obra de este –ya no tan joven– poeta emergente.
Xavier Guillén: Domesticated poetry. The emerging poetry of Xavier Guillén represents an interesting case in the perpetuation of a poetic school that, particularly at an institutional level, has generally been hegemonic in the Spanish literary field from the eighties to nowadays. This article attempts a brief stylistic analysis of the texts from his second book, Amo de casa (2021), revealing his reproduction of the main formal characteristics and his reformulation of the aesthetic-ideological postulates of the tradition of the so-called poetry of experience in the Spanish literary field. It particularly emphasizes what Xavier Guillén’s literary work has both of continuity and individuation against that trend. To achieve that, the reader is provided with an introductory presentation about the origins of this school, as well as its main ideas about literary creation: model of poem, method of writing by taking emotional distance, the objectification of the poetic subject, and its concept of poetry as a genre of fiction. Among other things, this paper discusses the internal structure of poetry books, the issue of literature as a professional activity (the idealistic versus the mundane notions of poetry), and the prominence of familial relationships in the second book of this –now not so young– emerging poet.
