Elsa Cross

Elsa Cross (born March 6, 1946, in Mexico City), is a contemporary Spanish-language Mexican writer perhaps best known for her poetry.

She has a doctorate in Philosophy and Letters from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) and is currently a professor in that Faculty.

According to Octavio Paz, Elsa Cross is one of the most personal voices in recent Latin-American poetry.

Her work, already considerable, includes some of the most perfect poems of the last generation of Mexican writers.

Two opposing notes reconcile harmoniously in Elsa Cross: the complexity of her thought and the clarity of her diction.
