ABSTRACT
In 1967, the literary magazine Claraboya/Skylight (1963–1968) published as its fourteenth issue, a special number dedicated to Beat poetry. Through French translations, Egea's reports became early sources of "information about the Beat Generation, its authors and their essential works", even if one still had to wait until the late sixties and early seventies for accessible Spanish translations of Beat works. Ory shares with the Beats the conception of life and poetry as intrinsically linked. The collection is a reminder that the influence of the Beat generation is not restricted to the transitional poets, but extends to younger generations. In the first one, the poet revisits Beat modes of contemplation by setting the Spanish landscape against the backdrop of motorbike riding. In poems like "Atienza", Cordero Sanz develops a poetry that nurtures from a motionless movement, a stillness-based action—"Los poetas en las lomas del cereal. El viento en calma. /Calma vertigo de estrellas en el circulo".
