Death of Spanish poet Angel Gonzalez in Madrid

January 21, 2008 Ángel González was one of the last living representatives of the generation of Spanish writers and artists known as the “Generation of the 50s”. Most of the writers were born in the 1920s and thus were children when the Spanish Civil War broke out. The war itself, as well as the regime of Franco, left an indelible mark upon their souls as evidenced in their work. The poets of the Generation included Francisco Brines, Jaime Gil de Beidma, Gloria Fuertes, Angel Gonzalez, Claudio Rodriguez, Carlos Sahagun and J.A. Valente.
