    Expertise

    Paul Cahill is a scholar of 20th-century Spanish literature, focusing on poetry that engages with its social context(s) while maintaining an active engagement with language itself. His work has looked primarily at poets writing during the 1960s and 1970s (Jenaro Talens, Jorge Urrutia, Eduardo Herv谩s, An铆bal N煤帽ez, Jos茅-Miguel Ull谩n) and poets born in the 1960 and 1970s (Antonio M茅ndez Rubio, V铆ctor G贸mez, Arturo Borra). His current research explores the lasting interest inspired by the Holocaust in Spanish poets who have little or no direct connection to it and in some cases were born decades after the end of World War II.
