Jorge Luis Borges: Poetry Background

Jorge Luis Borges: Poetry Background

Jorge Luis Borges: Poetry is a collection of the several poems written by Borges. Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges Acevedo, which is his full given name, was a novelist, writer, poet, translator and text critic that was born in the late 1800’s and died in the late 1900’s. Borges wrote in Spanish, as he was of Argentine nationality.

In addition to be a writer and a critic, Borges was a philosopher, which was reflected upon his works. His short stories often had a fantastical and philosophical tint to them with magical creatures and magical traditions. His poems were the same way, though instead of telling a story, they would converse and reflect with other poets and their words, often quoting their beliefs and pondering the meaning behind their statements.
