" I don't know if you think it's a paradox, / but maybe I don't lie if I declare / the immense intelligence of desire ." These verses belong to the poem Azuloscuro . It was written in the 90s by the poet Aurora Luque (Almería, 1962) and they realize a personal voice, open in many directions, with mooring in the classical world and how it helps to fix the compression of the contemporary. Aurora Luque , one of the referents of poetry today, has won the XXXII Loewe Foundation International Poetry Award for the Gavieras book, endowed with 25,000 euros, the most important prize in Spanish poetry.
The jury highlights the language " innovative, brave and daring , and the formal versatility and unity of thought it has." Aurora Luque has a degree in Classical Philology and an ancient Greek teacher in Malaga. His writing updates the language of the great original poets to make with them the best journey through the present, with renewed ideas, with the desire sometimes as the axis , with the look that the world seeks to strengthen its unique identity.
Luque has made translations of ancient and modern French, Latin and Greek poetry by authors such as María Lainá, Louise Labé, Reneé Vivien and Safo and authors such as Catulo, Meleagro and all the Greek poets who dealt with Eros or the sea . He also has the title of yacht skipper and travels through the Mediterranean, a sea that never tires his eyes.
The Visor publishing house will publish the next March Mer Gavieras . The same jury has granted the Galician Raquel Vázquez (Lugo, 1990) the Loewe Poetry Prize for Young Creation 2019 , endowed with 8,000 euros, for his book Although the maps , which Visor will also publish.
