Antonio Gamoneda
Description
The writings of Spanish poet Antonio Gamoneda are characterized by their strength, clarity, and contempt for trends. In this program, Gamoneda describes his genesis as a poet, shaped by a childhood of poverty and traumatization by the horrors of the Spanish Civil War; his perception of the radicalizing and revelatory nature and limited influence of poetry; and the relationship he perceives between poetry and music. In addition, the author of Blues Castellano, Despues de Veinte Anos, El Cuerpo de los Simbolos, Lapidas, and Esta Luz offers insights into his book Libro de los Venenos.
