Fina García Marruz, a universal figure
This Monday, June 27, we bid farewell to the Cuban poet, essayist, investigator and intellectual, Fina García Marruz, as are only those blessed with immortality, given the immense body of brilliant work she leaves behind.
For almost a century, the tender and fiery pen of Fina García Marruz flowed across this land. Hers was one of the most valued voices heard in contemporary literature in Cuba and Hispanoamerica.
This Monday, June 27, we bid farewell to the Cuban poet, essayist, investigator and intellectual, as are only those blessed with immortality, given the immense body of brilliant work she leaves behind.
Her National Prize for Literature remains for eternity, as does her life partner, the renowned Cuban thinker Cintio Vintier, with whom she also shared a passionate avocation for the study of José Marti’s works.
The consummate creator excelled in both her lyricism and her research, which wonder innumerable awards, including the National Prize for Cultural Investigation, the Iberoamerican Pablo Neruda Poetry distinction, as well as the Iberoamerican Queen Sofia and International Federico García Lorca, both for poetry, as well as Cuba’s José Marti, Alejo Carpentier and Félix Varela Orders.
Essayist and academic Enrique Saínz leaves us an insightful comment referring to her extraordinary brilliance:“Neither gratuitous or unjustified was this woman’s genuine membership in the Origens group, that formidable spiritual movement in Latin American culture that placed lyricism and the essay, alongside poetry, at a truly universal height.”
