Abstract

Separetely, the subjects of violence and family are common and even recurrent in the history of poetry. In mexican XXIst century poetry, both of those subjects seem to be not only common, but inseparable. For this reason, it’s difficult to find a family relationship motive in a poem (fatherhood, for instance) without finding a parallel mourning motive. As it will be shown in a number of books by Javier Sicilia, Patricia Mata, and Luis Armenta Malpica, family, violence and mourning tend to be parts of a full expressive structure related to sociopolitical present, unconsciousness metaphors or cultural traditions.
