Abstract
Using recent theoretical constructs that treat the lesbian postmodern, revised notions of desire, and the renovation of gender categories, the article traces the development of consciousness of lesbian sensuality and sexuality in contemporary Spanish poetry. The analysis of poems written by Canelo, Luca, and Rossetti attempts to placate the development of queer consciousness within the spectrum of feminization initially proposed by Elaine Showalter and later contextualized by Sharon Keefe Ugalde. In order to provide insights as to what stage of maturity this process has reached—embracement, subversion, or revision—the article examines collections written at different stages of recent history. The intent is to parallel the herstory of the three authors included: that is, the maturation of their own psychosexual development as reflected in their poetry.
