Spanish Poet Ángel González Passes
Gonzalez was an award-winning poet and writer originally from Spain who taught in New Mexico.
He is closely aligned with the generation of literary figures who opposed the Franco regime (other literati identified with this group include Garcia Lorca, Langston Hughes, Pablo Neruda, Orwell and Hemingway).
I highly recommend further reading of Gonzalez works, and exploration of the literary opposition to Franco’s Spain to anyone who enjoys poetry or Spanish literature, or to anyone who is interested in the juxtaposition of politics and literature.
