Biography

Aurora Luque was born in Almería in 1962.[1] She has a degree in Classical Philology from the University of Granada and has been a professor of Ancient Greek since 1988 in Málaga, where she has developed a large part of her career. She contributed as a columnist to the newspaper Diario Sur from 1999 to 2008.

In 2008, she was awarded the Шаблон:Ill from the Шаблон:Ill for her work in rescuing forgotten writers.[2] In October 2008, she was appointed director of the Generation of '27 Cultural Center of the Provincial Deputation of Málaga, a position she held until June 2011.[1]

In 2012 Luque enjoyed a residency at Villa Marguerite Yourcenar in Flanders, Belgium, within its program aimed at European writers. She has participated in various international poetry events and meetings in the Americas (Buenos Aires, Medellín, Bogotá, Santo Domingo, Monterrey, Morelia and Mexico City, Havana, Puerto Rico, Buffalo, and New York), Europe (Thessaloniki, Athens, Milan, Palermo, Naples, Bari, Vienna, Bremen, Rotterdam, Malmö, Stockholm, and Kristianstadt), Africa (Cairo, Alexandria, Tetouan, Tangier, Casablanca, Tunisia, and Cape Verde), and Asia (Israel and the Philippines).

She has lectured at various American universities, including the University of Massachusetts, Saint Louis University, Le Moyne College, Skidmore College, Dickinson College, College of the Holy Cross, CUNY, and Montclair College.

She founded and directed the poetry collection "Cuadernos de Trinacria", one of whose titles, Verbos para la rosa by Zanasis Jatsópulos, translated by Vicente Fernández, won the Шаблон:Ill in 2005. Beginning in 2000, she and Шаблон:Ill co-directed the "maRemoto" collection of poetry of other cultures for the Center of Editions of the Шаблон:Ill (CEDMA).[3] In 2005 she founded the Narila publishing house.[1] She has been part of the Advisory Council of the collection "Puerta del Mar", also of CEDMA, as well as the Governing Council of the Book Institute of the City of Málaga. She has been on the Social Council and is part of the Translation, Literature, and Society research group at the University of Málaga.[4]

Literary career

Poetry

In 1989 Luque's book Problemas de doblaje took second place for the Premio Adonáis de Poesía. In 1999 she received the Шаблон:Ill for Transitoria,[1] a book that had been a finalist of the Rafael Alberti Poetry Prize. In May 2005 she opened the Málaga Book Fair.[5] In 2007 she won the 10th edition of the Шаблон:Ill for her work La siesta de Epicuro, published by Visor.[6] In 2015 she published Personal & político (Fundación José Manuel Lara), a book with 45 poems that delved into the reality of the Spanish social crisis.[7]

It has been said that she belongs to the same generation as the poet Juan Antonio González Iglesias, one that combines classical tradition with the most furious modernity.[8] With regard to Transitoria, the jury of the Andalusian Critics' Award lauded "the perfect symbiosis between classical language, which knows how to incarnate itself in serene verses, and a colloquial, current speech."[9]

Professor Josefa Álvarez dedicated the study Tradición clásica en la poesía de Aurora Luque (Sevilla, Editorial Renacimiento, 2013) to her.[10]

Translation and criticism

Luque has made translations of French, Latin, and Ancient and Modern Greek poetry, from authors such as Maria Laina, Louise Labé, Renée Vivien, Sappho, Catullus, Meleager, and all of the Greek poets who dealt with themes of eros or the sea. In 2000 she published Los dados de Eros. Antología de poesía erótica griega (Ediciones Hiperión), and in November 2004 the Sappho translation Poemas y testimonios (Шаблон:Ill).[11]

As a lecturer, she has worked to rescue forgotten authors, such as the playwright María Rosa Gálvez[12] and the writer and ambassador Isabel Oyarzábal, on whom she focused her interest in 2010.[13]
