Summary/Abstract: The article offers a systematic exposition of the development of postmodernism in Bulgarian literature and specifically in poetry. Postmodernism is treated as a literary-historical period synchronous with the years of the Transition, while at the same time functioning as the representative discourse that articulates it in an adequate manner. Two broad periods are distinguished in this paired development, with the year 2000 being the borderline between them. Special attention is paid to a central “language” narrative in this development: postmodern poetry is seen as a deconstruction of ideological meta-narratives endowed with symbolic power, including within the institution of literature itself.
