La Orden Literaria « Francisco de Quevedo » présente un nouveau numéro de sa revue Quevedalia

The Patio de la Alhóndiga in Villanueva de los Infantes filled with visitors on 24 October for the presentation of the new issue of the magazine Quevedalia, a publication promoted by the Orden Literaria ‘Francisco de Quevedo’ that continues to champion literary creation and the dissemination of poetry.

The event was led by the Gran Maestre of the Order, Juan José Guardia Polaino, and the Escribana Mayor and coordinator of the magazine, Presentación Pérez González. Both were accompanied by the councillor for Culture, Francisco Javier Peinado, as well as by several of the authors who have contributed to this new edition.

With a strongly literary character and poetry at its heart, Quevedalia is supported by the Ayuntamiento de Villanueva de los Infantes and the Diputación Provincial de Ciudad Real. Its pages also feature the award-winning works from the latest edition of the Certamen Poético Internacional ‘Francisco de Quevedo’.

The new issue brings together a large group of writers, poets and other creators, whose contributions form a plural mosaic in which established careers and young voices coexist. Verse and prose intertwine in a publication that reflects the diversity of registers and sensibilities of its contributors, from their most intimate perspectives to their different ways of understanding and expressing culture.

With 17 editions published without interruption, the magazine has gradually built a literary universe of its own, thanks to the talent and participation of numerous authors who have found in its pages a space to share their creative concerns. This trajectory coincides with the 45 years of history of the Orden Literaria ‘Francisco de Quevedo’, committed to promoting culture and disseminating the literary legacy of the author of the Siglo de Oro.

In this regard, the Gran Maestre of the Order, Juan José Guardia Polaino, highlighted the value of the publication as a vehicle for expression and for encounters between authors and readers. “Quevedalia represents, because its authors want it so, a bare poetic reality that seeks to lend well-being to whoever falls among its pages”, he stated.
