Emma de Cartosio (1928–2013) was an Argentine writer, poet, storyteller, essayist and teacher. The Emma de Cartosio poetry contest was established in Entre Ríos Province in 2015.[1]
Biography
Cartosio was born in Concepción del Uruguay, Entre Ríos Province. She graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy and Educational Sciences of the National University of La Plata.[2]
In Argentina, Cartosio is largely recognized for her poetry. In 1963, she became a Fellow of the Instituto de Cultura Hispánica, Madrid. She studied contemporary Spanish poetry and published articles on the subject in several of the main newspapers in Argentina and Spain.
From 1965-69, she lived in Paris. She lectured on literature in general, but in particular, poetry in Latin American countries and in the interior of Argentina. A tireless traveler, Cartosio visited Europe, Africa, the Middle East and numerous Latin American countries, writing chronicles of her travels for the newspaper La Nación and others. Though she was mainly a Spanish language writer, she also wrote in French a book of stories and for that, she can be considered a francophone writer as well.
She died on October 25, 2013, at the age of 91. Her remains were cremated on October 30, 2013, as was her wish.
