The poetics of the group was reflected in this short book, and in lesser part in the manifesto Manifiesto albertista (1982) by García Montero and Egea.

García Montero and his group, however, tried to relate themselves with the previous poetic tradition taking in the postulates Luis Cernuda and Jaime Gil de Biedma and tried to unite the aesthetics of Antonio Machado with the thinking of the Generation of the '50s, as well as with Surrealism and the impactful images of Spanish Baroque poets or those of Juan Ramón Jiménez.

[citation needed] García Montero's most distinguishable characteristic is the history-biographical narrativism of his poems; a structure almost theatrical or novelistic, with a character or protagonist that tells or lives his story through recollection, memory or desire.

[1] In October 2012 it was announced that he would take on a key role in Izquierda Abierta, a new party led by Gaspar Llamazares and Montse Muñoz that was part of the United Left coalition.

[citation needed] On 22 October 2008 García Montero was condemned for an injuries case against José Antonio Fortes, professor at the University of Granada.

[4] In other writings, Fortes had attacked Francisco Ayala, Antonio Muñoz Molina, Joaquín Sabina, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer and Rafael Alberti, as fascist writers or capitalism sellers.

Judge Miguel Ángel Torres sentenced García Montero to pay a fine of €1,800 as well as another €3,000 to Fortes for serious publicity injuries.

[5][6] Although he thanked the many institutional and personal solidarity displays, García Montero announced a short time afterward a request for a leave of absence from the lecturer post that he had at the University of Granada, which he entered as a professor in 1981.
