BIOGRAPHY OF VICENTE GALLEGO
Vicente Gallego (Valencia, 1963) is a poet considered one of the main poets representing the poetry of the experience, of romantic lyric about the beauty of everyday life that dominated the Spanish lyric in the 80s and 90s of the twentieth century.
Numerous critics have also framed in this group the work of authors such as Luis García Montero, Felipe Benítez Reyes or Carlos Marzal.
He left the studies of letters to work in offices like doorman and disco dancer, pine tree trimmer, parcel deliveryman or weigher of the urban waste dump of Dos Aguas.
His multiple works have been more than subsistence forms, more intense adventures that have given him the chance to live the solitude of the countryside, to intensify his poetic vocation and to scrutinize the reading of authors such as Juan Ramón Jiménez, Luis Cernuda and Blas de Otero, among others.
He won the 1987 King Juan Carlos I prize for La luz, in another way, the Foundation's Young Creation Award
Loewe in 1990 for The Eyes of the Stranger, the 1995 Melilla City International Poetry Award for The Silver of Days and the 2001 Loewe Foundation Award for Santa Drift.
His poems have been translated into Italian, French, Portuguese, Hungarian and Bulgarian.
Born as a testimony to the existential vitalism of a sensitive subject, lonely and macerated by fate, the poetry of Vicente Gallego has been acquiring, in a gradual process of growth and consummation, a celebratory intonation that does not ignore the precariousness of life or hide the frightful allegories of the evil, but maintains in its music an intimate desire of revelation.
