Carlos Alvarado-Larroucau

After Alvarado-Larroucau completed his secondary education in the province of Tucumán, he settled in Buenos Aires, where he studied languages, philosophy and law.

Alvarado-Larroucau holds a doctorate degree in French Language and Literature from Paris 8 University.

Like other French-speaking writers, he has exchanged ideas intimately with the great Gallic poets like Saint-John Perse, Max Jacob and Mallarmé; and absorbed a certain amount of unavoidable melancholy reading Proust.

[…] In his work there is an aspiration to achieve a powerful synthesis, evoking an inside atmosphere from the mere observation of the simple things in the manner of Rilke, and this is visible in several of his poems such as in "what trivial: the perfect, the fleeting: the eternal ".

The poet says to all "Tucumán", and so is his word, his utterance is loaded with nuances of his country, with some way to express itself to the whole region of northwest Argentina.
