Abstract
This paper relates the impact caused on the sensitivity of Juan Ramon Jimenez by New York modernity with the novel generic configuration of Diario de un poeta recien casado. When Juan Ramon decides to poetically represent the city of New York, and all that it means at that moment, opts for a novel break of traditionally accepted formal molds, for a bewildering mix between genres (verse poems, prose poems, micro-stories, aphorisms, greguerias, extrapoetic texts...) which, in part, symbolizes the great cosmopolitan city’s fragmentation and chaos, of a city that, like any other, is defi ned by its contrasts. This reading of the Diario takes distance from a certain critical current which erroneously places this book in the context of modernist poetry, still unable to understand and accept the poeticity that modern city harbours.
