The anthologists, active poets with important works of their own and experienced editors, have taken on the arduous task of offering an overview of Hispanic-American poetry produced by authors born between 1965 and 1979. Taking into account the difficulty of achieving such an objective, El decir y el vértigo, beyond presenting a comprehensive Hispanic-American vision, manages to place within the reader's purview several young voices which, either by radical experimentation or by entries more closely tied to tradition, constitute the new poetic trailblazers of the region. In this sense, the selection is a useful tool in terms of familiarizing the reader with the works of the Argentine Fabián Casas, the Colombians Felipe García Quintero and Pascual Gaviria, the Chileans Germán Carrasco and Javier Bello, the Peruvian Paul Guillén, the Cuban Damaris Calderón and the Mexicans Luis Vicente de Aguinaga, Ernesto Lumbreras and Eduardo Padilla, among others. Likewise, the anthology represents a very important attempt to create links and establish a dialogue among the poets of the Hispanic-American world.
