Sumario:The poetry written by Luis Alberto de Cuenca (Madrid, 1950) is characterized by its great ability to link different traditions, texts and ages. This feature has distinguished his work since the early seventies and it has remained part of his last texts. The purpose of this current paper is to analyse the versatility of his poems, to suggest a possible model to wich this understanding of culture can be referred to: the alexandrianism. To do so, we will make reference to some basic terms from helenistic period. Later, we will observe the recovery of the alexandrian model by some pieces of poetry entitled “variations''. Finally, we will explain some thematic tendency to the “minorness”, that also could be explained by the alexandrian model.
