Antonio Gamoneda receives the Cervantes Prize
Date: April 26, 2007 | Discussion: No Comments
Spanish poet Antonio Gamoneda has been awarded Spain’s top literature award, the Cervantes Prize. The winner of the 90,000 euro lifetime achievement award is chosen annually by the Spanish Ministry of Culture from candidates nominated by the various Language Academies of Spanish speaking countries around the world.
Gamoneda, who had his first works published in the 1960s, is perhaps best known for his 1987 National Poetry Prize winning collection “Edad”, which collected the poet’s finest works so far. He is also known for his translations of foreign poets.
Only some of Gamoneda’s collections have been translated into English. See Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk for more information.
