Andrés Amorós opens the cultural program of the Notarial College of Andalusia this Thursday with a lecture on bullfighting poetry.

The prestigious Professor of Literature Andrés Amorós will present this Thursday at 8 pm at the Notarial College of Andalusia (Calle San Miguel, 1) his latest work, 'The Hundred Best Bullfighting Poems', with a review that goes from Berceo to Sabina and in which appear authors as diverse as Byron , Rilke , Lorca or Miguel Hernández . This event inaugurates the school's Culture Room and coincides with Seville's San Miguel Fair. Admission is free until capacity is reached.

The Andalusian Notarial Association opens its cultural program this week after the summer with the lecture "García Lorca, Miguel Hernández, and Other Bullfighting Poets," by writer, journalist, and literary critic Andrés Amorós.

Amorós will reflect on how great poets, often identified with political and ideological currents that seemed distant from the world of bullfighting—among them Federico García Lorca and Miguel Hernández— found a source of poetic inspiration in bullfighting . A cultural paradox that demonstrates the transversality of bullfighting in Spanish literary history.

The talk will highlight the breadth of the subject, which covers everything from Alfonso X the Wise and Gonzalo de Berceo , the authors of the Golden Age and the Romantics, to foreign voices such as Lord Byron or Rilke . The 20th century offers decisive names such as Fernando Villalón , Rafael Alberti , Gerardo Diego or Miguel Hernández, alongside contemporary authors such as Joaquín Sabina, Felipe Benítez Reyes , Luis Alberto de Cuenca , Carlos Marzal or Andrés Calamaro , who certify the validity of this poetic tradition.

The conference is part of the presentation of his latest work, "The Hundred Best Bullfighting Poems," an annotated anthology of 100 poems by 78 national and international authors that offers a dual focus: A rigorous review of Spanish poetic literature and an essential reflection on bullfighting as a cultural fact .
