Gloria Fuertes

Writer of the media, she became especially well-known in Spain from 1970 onwards for her collaborations in TVE's children's and youth programs.
In his poetry he defended equality between men and women, pacifism and the defense of the environment.
In 2017, on the occasion of the celebration of the centenary of its birth has been claimed its role in the Spanish poetry of the twentieth century.
The whole of Gloria Fuertes' work is characterized by the irony with which he treats such universal themes as love, loneliness, pain or death.
The metaphors, the linguistic games and the fresh and simple character give their poems a great musicality and cadence close to oral language.
His lyrical accent is one of the most personal, authentic and distinctive among contemporary poets.
Fuentes is known in Spain as the poet of children, but also as a woman ahead of her time, because as few was a claimant, feminist, pacifist, poet.
