The writer Zoraida Burgos died this Sunday at the age of 92 in the same place where she was born in 1933, during the Second Republic: Tortosa. From there, rooted in the rice paddies, "on the periphery," as she would say, she built a poetic oeuvre that speaks of identity, the passage of time, beauty, the contradictions of life, and the mystery of death, from the combative spirit of the 1970s to the depths of maturity. Her last book, Coexistence of waters, which brings together all his poetry, published in 2017 by LaBreu and which earned him the Catalan Critics' Prize 2018This is what brought the work of this poet back to readers, a poet whose publications had previously been scattered, small, or unsuccessful. In 2023, she received the Creu de Sant Jordi (Cross of St. George).
