Certain poetic practices in Mexico which have traditionally received less attention from scholars have recently regained currency, and even urgency in poetic critique. This chapter explores the openly political and popular underside of twentieth-century Mexican poetry, starting with the Estridentismo movement and moving on to works by José Emilio Pacheco, Eduardo Lizalde, Renato Leduc, Efraín Huerta, Rosario Castellanos, Jaime Sabines, Francisco Hernández, Jaime Reyes, and Ricardo Castillo, among others, as well as the political poetry recently reprinted in the twenty volumes of the Archivo negro de la poesía mexicana. The chapter also examines two significant but historically silenced trends: poetry written by women and literature in Indigenous languages.
