Trino Cruz
Gibraltarian poet From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trino Cruz Seruya (born 1960) is a Gibraltarian poet.
Biography
Born in Gibraltar in 1960. Of mixed Sephardi, English, Italian and Spanish ancestry,[1] he studied in Liverpool and London before returning to his birthplace in 1983.[2] He has been called a main example of the Spanish-language poetry both in Gibraltar and in the wider scope of the territories circling the Strait of the same name.[3] Commentator of Maghrebian poetry,[2] he has also translated works by authors such as Hassan Najmi and Saadi Yousef.[2][1] One of the defining traits of his literary work is miscegenation.[4] Trino Cruz has given the opinion that "Gibraltarian literature is a literature nonata" (not yet born),[5][6] attributing that status to political forces blocking the "creative instincts".[7]
