Isabel Oliva Prat (Girona, 1924) is a Spanish poet in the Catalan language.

Biography

She studied Teaching and Music, and she worked as a teacher in several educational centers. Her father and uncle were music teachers and encouraged her from a young age to cultivate the art of music. She was always a great fan of poetry but it was not until after her professional retirement that she began to write and publish, and from that moment on, her work was well received by critics and deserving of numerous awards.

Works

A good connoisseur of the Catalan language and its lyrical resources, she cultivates a poetry deeply rooted in personal and collective life experience, where the concern for memory, landscape, solitude and art predominates as a fundamental feature of human expression. Likewise, critics have highlighted her poetry's capacity for subtlety, which allows her to always suggest rather than describe.
