Abstract

Estrita necesidade is a poetry book that portrays the customs and ideology of the generation that suffered the final years of the Franco regime and saw social changes take place at breakneck speed. A family book that delves into the relationships between fathers and children and into the traces left by memory on the gaze of the child speaking these lines. This paper analyzes the latest collection of poems by Carlos Negro, considering his evolution as a poet and relating it to other books by the same author that place the family at the core of his poetic world view.
