Details

The author Federico Díaz Granados has published, among others, the poetry books Las voces del fuego (1995); La casa del viento (2000), Hospedaje de paso (Visor, 2003), Las prisas del instante (Visor, 2015) and Grietas de la luz (FCE 2024). In 2021 he was appointed Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Department of Spanish at the University of Virginia. He is a regular contributor to Colombia oldest newspapers, El Tiempo and El Espectador. He is also a columnist for Revista Cambio and El País América. In his last book Grietas de la luz, Federico Díaz Granados explores the loss of memory through the intimate experience of Alzheimer’s endured by both his grandmothers. This talk reflects on how poetry can transform forgetfulness into shared memory, pain into language, and loss into a possibility of meaning. The talk will be in English and Spanish.
