Verso libre

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Verso libre ( Spanish "free verse"; plural versos libres ) is in Spanish literature and in the Spanish-language literature of Latin America the name of free verse , that verse that neither metric are regulated nor rhyme bond have, and typically not in regular stanzas are divided .

It must be distinguished from the rhymeless verse that appeared from the 17th century onwards, corresponding to the Italian verso sciolto , for which the term verso suelto or verso blanco is better used.

In Latin American modernism , experiments were carried out with the verso libre ( José Martí Versos libres 1913, only published posthumously). The first significant work of Spanish poetry in free verse is Diario de un poeta recién casado (“Diary of a Young Married Poet”, 1917) by Juan Ramón Jiménez . Versolibrismo also played an important role in the work of the Generación del 27 in the period after 1927.
