Death of Spanish poet Angel Gonzalez in Madrid

21 januari 2008
Ángel González died on 12th January in Madrid after an illness. He was 82. The high esteem in which he is held in Spain is evident from the number of pages El Pais devoted to his life.
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.
