Abstract

On 21 March 2024, on the occasion of World Poetry Day, we had the privilege of listening to the Spanish poet Luis Alberto de Cuenca (Madrid 1950). The poet, invited by the Cervantes Institute in Rome, recited his poems together with 15 other renowned European poets, who gathered at the Hungarian Academy to celebrate poetry. The following day we had the opportunity to invite him to talk to us at the Roma Tre University. On that occasion, we reviewed the long career of this Hellenistic philologist (from his first poems in 1971 to the sixth edition of his complete works in 2023) and recent winner of the Federico García Lorca Prize (2022). Here is the transcript of our conversation.
