VILLACORTA, carlos. Reconstructing Memory: Peruvian Poetry After Political Violence 2000-2010. Letras [online]. 2016, vol.87, n.125, pp.123-134. ISSN 2071-5072.

This paper analyzes the last Peruvian poetry that articulates and represents the political violence suffered by Peruvian society during the eighties and nineties. During those two decades, conversational language, long considered hegemonic in the Peruvian poetry scene lost legitimacy because it was not enough to portray the fast atomization of society. At the same time, Peruvian poetry began a long process of reformulation and search for a new language during the nineties that was accentuated at the beginning of the century. The works of a new generation of poets like Victoria Guerrero, Luis Fernando Chueca, Roxana Crisólogo, among others, have had two concerns: reformulate Peruvian poetic language and represent what was the Internal Conflict (1980-2000) whether from its causes, process and / or consequences

Keywords : Peruvian poetry; Internal Conflict Army; Conversational poetry.
