Celso Emilio Ferreiro

Celso Emilio Ferreiro Míguez (1912–1979) was a Galicianist activist, writer, poet, and political journalist.

He fell out with the Galician nationalists in Venezuela, and in response published the poetry collection Viaxe ao pais dos ananos (Journey to the land of the dwarves).

He founded the Patronato da Cultura Galega (Patronage of Galician Culture), and was part of President Rafael Caldera's cabinet.

But Celso Emilio Ferreiro beats them all, if we ignore Neruda, because he has more poetic talent and because he is more sincere.

[5] 2012 was officially named 'Year of Celso Emilio Ferreiro' in Galicia in honor of 100 years since his birth.
