Transfer Feminine Alicante, presented by the Cultural Institute of Alicante, unfolds this Tuesday with a focus on the life and influence of Josefina Manresa, wife to poet Miguel Hernández. The evening will begin at 19:30 at Casa Bardín, the cultural hub managed by the institute, where scholars and poetry lovers gather to explore the intimate circle surrounding a major Oriolan literary figure.
The discussion, titled Josefina Manresa, her husband and main inspiration for Miguel Hernández, centers on a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to safeguarding and enriching the literary heritage connected to the Oriolan poet. Attendees will gain insight into Manresa’s role in shaping Hernández’s work and the broader literary landscape of that era.
The program features Alemany, an experienced editor and anthologist with a substantial track record in Latin American and Spanish literature. With authorship and editorial credits spanning Miguel Hernández’s complete works, Alemany has collaborated with notable scholars to assemble and annotate key texts, including joint efforts with Agustín Sánchez Vidal and José Carlos Rovira.
Alemany’s 2013 monograph Miguel Hernández, the difficulty of writing examines the challenges and methods behind the author’s poetic process. Today, Alemany curates Anonymous America, a literary magazine, and oversees the Notebooks of Anonymous America, a related collection. The presenter has delivered lectures across Latin America, Europe, and the United States, bringing a transcontinental perspective to the study of modern poetry and its historical context.
