Summary/Abstract: This paper presents an attempt at analyzing some of the tendencies in recent examples of Bulgarian poetry, as well as at establishing the existence or lack of continuity between said examples and Bulgarian poetic tradition. One significant aspect of the article is its use of the analytical term “poetic generation”, which has served throughout our literary history to help classify the works of budding poets having a similar way of writing – in both thematic and stylistic terms. Through the comparison of the poetic debuts of fourteen authors published in the period 2018–2019, this paper delineates some of the latest thematic explorations, stylistic and linguistic specificities in Bulgarian poetry, while also asking: Do we see signs of a new poetic generation in recent years or not?
