Abstract
This article traces the presence of Pompeii in contemporary Spanish poetry, from 1970 until nowadays.Through the poetic work of Antonio Colinas, Alejandro Duque Amusco, Víctor Botas, David Pujante orFederico J. Silva, among others, this episode will be analysed both in its historical and fictionalrepresentation (occasionally not much similar), and in its symbolic and psychological dimension (withthe different formulations of the topic of ruins, love feeling, etc.).
