Reading... Olga Orozco

The Poetry Club at the Instituto Cervantes in Manchester finishes 2025 with a session dedicated to reading poems by Olga Orozco.

Olga Orozco was a distinguished Argentine poet born in Toay, La Pampa, in 1920, and passed away in Buenos Aires in 1999. Associated with the surrealist movement and the so-called Generation of the 1940s, her work is marked by visionary imagination, free verse, and a profound exploration of themes such as death, solitude, childhood as a lost paradise, and memory as a refuge from time. Among her most acclaimed collections are Desde lejos, Las muertes, Los juegos peligrosos, Museo salvaje, Cantos a Berenice, and Con esta boca, en este mundo.
