PRESENCIA DEL MITO DE LA SIRENA EN LA POESÍA ESPAÑOLA CONTEMPORÁNEA/THE MERMAID MYTH IN CONTEMPORARY SPANISH POETRY

Its presence is approached from different perspectives where its defining aspects are combined in a perfect postmodern hodgepodge, as the examples collected in this study demonstrates.
