Abstract

The work proposes to study the polemic cross between humor and poetry, a controversial link that has often been omitted or undervalued in the theoretical approaches to the genre. Often, it has been associated with pathos, solemnity or gravity, probably based on misreading of Romanticism. Instead, we propose an approach to some of the most important voices in the Spanish poetic scene, especially from the 80s and 90s, such as Luis A. de Cuenca, Luis García Montero, Roger Wolfe and Karmelo Iribarren. They propose in their works various laughable manifestations, presenting poetic moods that point to diverse searches: from laughter to smile, from criticism to tenderness and from dislike to complacency.
