Sheltered by the mayor, Ana Belén Castejón, and several councilors among which were those of Culture, Education and Public Function, David Martínez Noguera, Mercedes García and Manuel Mora, along with José López, Manuel Padín and Francisco Calderón, and a hundred of friends, poets, writers and artists, the Cartagena poet Maria Teresa Cervantes, has starred this afternoon the act of nominating her place in the street San Crispín University District.
It is a newly created square whose walls have been decorated with drawings and a portrait of the poet, along with verses of some of her works, made by the artist Jesús Lorente.
It was a simple and endearing act that opened the mayor, making a semblance of the honoree and highlighting its simplicity, its literary and personal quality.
And also his generosity that led him to donate his legacy to the City of Cartagena.
After reading the nomination agreement adopted unanimously by the Municipal Corporation, Maria Teresa Cervantes herself has intervened, thanking the deference of the mayor for carrying out this tribute and the Lucerna association that she had the pleasure to propose it.
Subsequently, he discovered with Ana Belén Castejón the plaque that gives the square its name.
The act, framed in the activities programmed for the Women's Day of March 8, has concluded with the reading of various poems.
María Teresa Cervantes is an octogenarian Spanish poet born and currently living in Cartagena who continues to write poems and has won eight awards for her poetic anthologies.
Among the thirty written works, highlight 'The night on the shoulder' 'The lion yawn', 'Without witnesses', 'Chopin nocturne', 'Clouds of autumn' or 'The faces of silence'.
In addition, he has written essays such as his memoirs 'Edificio del recuerdo' or the biographies of the sculptor Antonio Campillo or the painter José Betanzos.
