Chus Pato

Chus Pato's works go beyond the traditional concept of poetry since her writings bear signs of postmodern transgression of literary genres.

She uses different text types—biography, essay, excerpts from theatre, interview, radio programs—which allows her to engage a large variety of voices that include, as well as hers, those of many other real and fictitious characters.

Galician nationalism, a Marxist vision of reality, and feminist theory influence the themes she deals with.

Her style is characterized by syncopated syntax and references to Greco-Latin mythology so that she uses language as a metaphor of immediate reality.

and she has written books (Palabra de muller, Poesía dos aléns) in collaboration with other authors.
