2006 Miguel de Cervantes Prize winner announced

Date: December 1, 2006 | Discussion: 1 Comment

Antonio Gamoneda has been awarded the 2006 Miguel de Cervates Prize, which annually recognises the lifetime work of a poet who writes in Spanish. The prize, awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Culture, is worth $120,000.

Gamoneda, who was born in 1931 and published his first collection in 1960, is perhaps best known for Libro del frío (1992) and Arden las pérdidas (2003). To the best of my knowledge, none of his works are available in English.
