Abstract
The Spanish Civil War and Franco's regime are central themes in various Spanish novels and films from the post-dictatorship period, and literary critics have analyzed in great length the representation of these two historical, crucial periods in Spain's history. However, how these topics have been presented in poetry written during the democratic era has not been thoroughly researched. This article fills that critical gap by analyzing poems by Isabel Pérez Montalbán (1964) and David González (1964) in the context of a complex body of theoretical literature on historical memory. The analysis of these poems shows how their composition represents a commitment to support and defend the recuperation of historical memory, thereby resisting the political and social discourse that insists on only looking to the future.
