Susana Giqueaux (1904–2004) was an Argentine poet, writer and translator. She was born in Nogoyá, Argentina to a family of recently arrived immigrants from France. The family later moved to Concepción del Uruguay where Susana spent much of her life. She was fluent in French, and translated French-language poets such as Jules Supervielle, Saint-John Perse and Oscar Milosz. She also wrote fiction; her novel Mar de fondo was the first winner of the National Foundation for the Arts prize (Fondo Nacional de las Artes) in Argentina in 1977.[1] [2]
The eldest of eight children, Giqueaux never married and died aged around 100 in 2004.
