Alberto Claudio Blasetti (Buenos Aires, 2 October 1923 – 5 May 2005)[1] was an Argentine writer known for his poetry of symbolic character and melancholic tone.
Biography[edit]
Born in the neighbourhood of Constitución into a middle-class family, Blasetti was educated at the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires, the University of Buenos Aires, and the Argentine Notarial University, where he obtained a doctorate in Notary Law.
Blasetti's first collection of poems, 7 azules para una sonrisa, appeared in 1945 and was praised by Argentine critics.[2] After the success of his early work, Blasetti went on to develop an extensive poetic oeuvre, which includes titles such as Diosma (1958), Arquitrabe y solsticio (1970), Tadmor (1979), El esmalte del ruiseñor (1994), and Luciérnagas sobre una vara de mimbre (2004). Blasetti’s work has been anthologised widely and is typically seen as part of the canon of 20th-century Argentine avant-garde poetry.[3][4]
Alongside his poetic production, Blasetti wrote short stories, plays and academic essays. Most of his fictional pieces are set in the working-class town of Berisso, a teeming immigrant enclave between the 19th and the 20th centuries,[5] and deal with themes such as the experience of uprootedness, the challenges of cultural and ethnic integration, and the struggle for economic survival.
