Dulce María Loynaz

Dulce María Loynaz (1902-1997) received international recognition in 1992 for her nearly century-long contributions to Spanish letters when she was awarded the Cervantes Prize, widely recognized as the highest prize in Spanish literature. Often called the “Emily Dickinson of Cuba,” she has written poems celebrated for their precision and modern lyricism. Though born to a patriotic family—her father, General Enrique Loynaz del Castillo, was a national figure, having fought under Antonio Maceo in Cuba’s war for independence—she stopped publishing for several decades following the 1959 Cuban Revolution, as her deeply personal style and themes were incongruous with the period’s ideological control over the arts. She died in Havana City in 1997.
