The cyclical poetry in Roser de tot l’any, by Jacint Verdaguer, and in "Les minves del gener", by Joan Maragall

From the return of the trip to the Holy Land in 1886, Jacint Verdaguer reoriented his writing in many ways: he formally adapted poetry following nearly the 19th century aesthetic currents, he resorted to the intimate poem that more or less translates his inner state, writes in the periodical press using forms of journalistic writing in verse (Roser de tot l’any. Dietari de pensaments religiosos) and prose (En defensa pròpia) and, most interestingly, assumes the story of his own self framed in a path of Kierkegaardian truth in which the tribulation and pain of the world are the way. Roser’s cyclical poems throughout the year take on this lyrical path and at the same time contrast with some cyclical poems by Joan Maragall from the same period, especially «Les minves del gener», of the book Poesies.
