This literary event is a tribute to the poet Margarita Ferreras (Alcañices, 1900 - Palencia, 1964), a writer from the Generation of '27 in the context of the Silver Age, on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of her birth.

Many of the female writers of this generation remain hidden in the literary transmission of the first half of the 20th century. Silence came, like a burden, after the Civil War and the Dictatorship. Also, the path of exile.

This tribute, on the 125th anniversary of her birth, is intended to be an act of poetic justice, a cry for freedom that other personalities and artists claim in her name. It is the time for cultural restitution. Our goal: to rescue her from a place where, until now, she has been forgotten.

Participating in the meeting:

María Jesús Fuentes (Málaga-Ceuta) has a degree in Hispanic Philology. She teaches at the "Siete Colinas" in Ceuta. She has walked many roads without being able to turn back. Thus, between dreams, travels and readings, she has published essays, stories, novels, poetry, prologues, articles and collaborations in anthologies, where she shares pages with the most well-known and recognized voices of contemporary poetry.
In October 2024, she was appointed Academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences, Fine Arts and Fine Arts of Córdoba.

Pilar Antón (Zamora) has a degree in Psychology from the University of Salamanca and works for the Junta de Castilla y León.
She is the author of "Rotos" (Ediciones Torremozas, 2011), "El lustre de la mano" (Ediciones Torremozas, 2018) and "Descríbeme una piedra" (Eolas Ediciones, 2024). Her poems also appear in collective publications: "Palabras como velas encendidas", Amnesty International; "Encuentros y palabras", Asociación Pentadrama; "Una ruta literaria por Zamora" (Editorial Semuret, 2014); and in the magazine Álora.

Yolanda Fidalgo (Zamora) studied Tourism Business at the University of Salamanca. In addition to writing, she is the founder of her own bookbinding workshop in Madrid and Tierra Dulce, an organic chocolate company.
She has always had an inclination towards books and began writing poetry until she ventured into narrative. To date, she has published the novels "Más allá de los volcanes", "Las hogueras del cielo" and "La música del mal", all of them from Roca Editorial (Barcelona). At the moment, she is correcting and rewriting the fourth, which we hope will appear soon.
The author has been recognized with the Marta de Mont Marçal Prize, the Essay Prize for entrepreneurial ideas from Aldeamayor (Valladolid) and the Manuel J. Peláez Micro-stories Prize, among others.

Jesús Losada (Zamora) holds a PhD in Portuguese Philology from the University of Salamanca. He has worked as a professor of Spanish at universities in Italy, Portugal, India, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic, countries where he has lived for a good part of his life.
Poet, translator and cultural manager. He has been director of Spanish-Portuguese summer courses and collaborator in several international cross-border management projects in the field of Hispanic culture.
He currently teaches Universal Literature at a high school in his hometown. Some of his poetic creations have been translated into different languages.
