Rafael Alberti

    December 16, 1902 – October 27, 1999

    Rafael Alberti was a Spanish poet whose early work drew from the Cancionero tradition while adopting a distinctly avant-garde perspective. He later absorbed the profound influence of Luis de Góngora, evident in his stylistic evolution. However, it was through the introspective surrealism of his most celebrated work, exploring angelic themes, that Alberti truly established himself as a mature and significant poetic voice.
