Pilar Moyano, professor of Spanish, recently presented a paper, “Hacia la recuperación de la poesía del exilio español de 1939: Juan Rejano,” at the Congreso Internacional 'Burgos, Corazón de Castilla of the Instituto de la Lengua Castellano y Leones, Burgos, Spain.
The paper is a reconsideration of the costs of political exile for Spanish intellectuals in Mexico in 1939, including journalist-poet Juan Rejano. It examines how the exiles' work was affected by their complex relationships to both the Francoist Spain they fled and the Mexico that welcomed them.
