## Two distinct poetic styles
Osvaldo Aguirre describes how Girri and Giannuzzi wrote poetry in very different ways: one realistic with common language, the other without emotional sentiment.
## Shared literary interests
Both poets value Borges highly, though Giannuzzi focuses on prose while Girri considers him the best poet of the martinfierrist generation.
## Common themes in their work
They both appreciate 20th-century American poetry, reject beat poets, emphasize death, and highlight Héctor A. Murena's influence.
## Personal connections
Giannuzzi knew Murena while working at Crítica and credits him for helping publish his first book, Nuestros días mortales (1958).
## Poetic philosophy
Both poets seek an impersonal expression and reject defining poetry, with Giannuzzi calling himself a 'poeta hosco y amargo' and Girri emphasizing historical meaning.
## Unintended similarities
Giannuzzi and Girri both reference Juan Rodolfo Wilcock, though they had different social backgrounds, and both share a critical view of the world.
## New publications
Two new books compile interviews and texts from both poets: De la poesía lo espero todo (1983) and El motivo es el ensayo (1976).
## Key takeaway

Alberto Girri and Joaquín O. Giannuzzi, two Argentine poets, share key poetic philosophies despite stylistic differences.
