Uruguayan writer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amanda Berenguer (1921 – July 13, 2010)[1] was a Uruguayan poet. She is remembered as a member of the Generation of 45, a Uruguayan intellectual and literary movement.[2]
She was born in Montevideo. Quehaceres e Invenciones (1963) brought Berenguer sudden fame and praise, emboldening her search for new poetic structures to express her unique vision of art and the world. In 1986 she received the "Reencuentro de Poesía" prize from the University of the Republic, Uruguay for her work Los signos sobre la mesa. Ante mis hermanos supliciados. La dama de Elche (1987) received first prize in the poetry category from the Uruguayan Ministry of Education and Culture. The second edition of La dama de Elche, published in 1990, won the Bartolomé Hidalgo Prize, issued by the Uruguayan Book Chamber. She married writer José Pedro Díaz in 1944.
In 2006, she became an honorary member of the Uruguayan National Academy of Letters.
She died in 2010. Her remains are buried at Cementerio del Buceo, Montevideo.[1][3]
