It investigates the socio-political, religious, and cultural factors that influenced poetry during these periods, linking literary outputs to broader historical narratives. - Intertextuality and Influence:

It focuses on the transatlantic dialogues between Spain and its colonies, analyzing how colonial experiences shaped poetic forms and themes in both hemispheres. - Gender and Identity in Poetry:
The journal addresses themes of gender and identity, particularly in the context of women's contributions to poetry and the representation of marginalized voices within the literary canon. - Poetic Forms and Innovations:
It examines the evolution of poetic forms, including sonnets, ballads, and other structures, and discusses innovations in style and technique introduced by poets during this era.
Trending and Emerging
- Interdisciplinary Approaches:
There is an increasing trend towards interdisciplinary studies that integrate insights from history, cultural studies, and gender studies, enhancing the understanding of poetic texts within broader contexts. - Poetry and Censorship:
Recent works have increasingly explored the theme of censorship in poetry, particularly in colonial contexts, highlighting how political and social controls affected literary expression. - Global Perspectives on Hispanic Poetry:

Declining or Waning
- Focus on Traditional Canonical Poets:
There appears to be a decreasing emphasis on traditional canonical figures such as Garcilaso and Quevedo, with more recent issues exploring a broader array of poets, including those from colonial contexts and lesser-known authors. - Static Historical Narratives:
The journal has started to move away from purely historical narratives surrounding the poets and their works, indicating a decline in interest in strictly biographical approaches in favor of thematic and interdisciplinary analyses. - Limited Exploration of Non-Poetic Forms:
There is a noticeable reduction in discussions surrounding non-poetic literary forms from the same periods, such as prose or drama, suggesting a waning interest in comparative literature approaches. - Underrepresentation of Contemporary Resonances:
