La analogía entre parto y creación po&eactue;tica en la lírica hispánica contemporánea.

The aim of this paper is to reveal and explain the way writers use the analogy between writing and giving birth in some metapoetic texts of lyrical poetry. Despite its classical roots, we mostly pay attention to the contemporary use of this metaphor. The paper considers the genre implications, takes a slight glance at feminist debate on the matter and notes the great importance of this analogy in the poetic theory and the works of female poets such as Ángela Figuera Aymerich and Ana María Fagundo.
