Abstract

Contemporary poetry, and its capacity to enter into a constant dialogue with different traditions and periods, contains interesting readings of Platonic philosophy. These readings, which can be traced in the work of such writers as Aurora Luque, Chantal Maillard, María Sanz, Josefa Parra or Alberto Tesán, revitalize Classical thought in the contemporary scene.
