José Albi

José Albi (born 1922, Valencia, Spain; died 2010, Valencia, Spain) was a Spanish poet and literary critic, primarily known for his contributions to the Valencian literary scene. He was a member of the Generation of '50, a group of Spanish poets who emerged during the Francoist era and often grappled with themes of social injustice, existential angst, and the human condition. Albi's poetry is characterized by its introspective nature, exploring themes of time, memory, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. He wrote extensively in both Spanish and Valencian (Catalan), reflecting his deep connection to his regional culture and language. His critical work focused on both contemporary and historical Spanish and Valencian literature.
