Alejandro Duque Amusco, a Sevillian living in Barcelona, ​​was born on November 2, 1949. From his first book of poems, Esencias de los días (1976), he showed a predilection for refined and sensory expression. In the long journey that his poetry has followed, guided by the desire for a balance between beauty and experience, emotion and truth. Duque Amusco considers that the first objective when writing is to delve into our spirit, close wounds, appease obsessions and thus obtain an inner liberation with which to rediscover happiness and balance.
From him is this aphorism: “Suffering is the great alibi of poets; They still don't know that poetry requires at least one afternoon of happiness”.
