About the author Rubén Bonifaz Nuño (1923-2013) explored diverse paths of literary creation—poetry, essay, translation, and university teaching—all of which he pursued with the same passion. If his poetry appears in the best pages of Ibero-American literature, then his translations and essays, which span from Greco-Latin antiquity to pre- Colombian Mexican iconography, are models of elegance, rigor, and perfection. They evoke universes of words, forms, and structures that together give life to one of most varied and fecund works of literature in Spanish. • A panoramic and perfectly balanced selection of all the different facets of this poet • Rubén Bonifaz Nuño is an essential writer in Ibero-American literature • Bonifaz Nuño’s essays and poetry have been translated into English and French “There are few examples of the dedication to poetry offered by Rubén Bonifaz Nuño. For him, poetry is devotion, a continual search, a disciplined way of recognizing disorder in the world and giving it order with precision and a destiny” Luis García Montero “Rubén Bonifaz Nuño is one our truest poets: classical, romantic, contemporary, he is concerned with the destiny of human beings and the human condition in Mexico and throughout the world” Ramón Xirau 2500 copies sold in its first edition UNAM Foreign Rights 2014 11 Author’s Awards National Prize of Sciences and Arts (1974) Order of Merit in the rank of Commander (Italia, 1977) Master Honoris Causa for The University State of Mexico (1980) Diploma of Honor at the XXXII Gala Capitol Roma, first to be awarded to a Spanish language writer (1981) Doctor Honoris Causa for The University State of Colima (1984) Latin American Award Letters Rafael Heliodoro Valle (1984) Alfonso Reyes International Award (1984) Doctor Honoris Causa for The University State of Mexico (1985) Jorge Cuesta Award (1985) Universidad Nacional Award(1990) Doctor Honoris Causa for The University State of Veracruz (1992) Commemorative Medall of Palacio de Bellas Artes (1997) Iberoamerican Award for Poetry Ramón López Velarde (2000).
