Blanca Andreu, Galicia, and the New Iberian Mysticism - From Post-Mortem to Post-Mystic

This book contributes to the ongoing discussion of the place of contemporary Galician writer Blanca Andreu's work within the 1980s post-"novísimo" movement, as part of a larger resurgence of the Surrealist in Spanish poetry and its possible placement in the more recent mystical poetry of Spain.
