Beschreibung:
Trained in classical philology, Luis Alberto de Cuenca received his doctorate from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Until his retirement, he was research professor at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas. He is best known for a large body of accessible, elegant and witty poems. Borrowing a term from Franco-Belgian cartoonists, he describes his poetry as "poesía de línea clara" (poetry with a clear line). His initial poetry collection, Los retratos (Portraits), appeared in 1971. Since then he has published more than a dozen other collections, most recently Después del paraíso (After Paradise). He has gathered his poems in the omnibus volume, Los mundos y los días (Worlds and Days), whose most recent edition dates from 2019.
Drawing on comic books, cartoons, Hollywood movies, slang, urban culture, Cuenca's poems address happy and unhappy loves, fantasies and nightmares, the lineaments of big-city life.
