Les voix à distance de Maria Cabrera et Maria Sevilla

Abstract

Maria Cabrera and Maria Sevilla have played a crucial role in contemporary catalan poetry in recent years. Their writing can be compared because the two poets share an interest for orality and rhythm; transtextuality and queer questioning. This paper attempts to read and analyse some poems in La ciutat cansada by Maria Cabrera and Dents de polpa by Maria Sevilla: the starting point of which will be Jacques Derrida’s concept of distance from his texts on women’s writing.
