Ernestina de Champourcín


Ernestina de Champourcín Morán de Loredo (10 July 1905 in Vitoria-Gasteiz – 27 March 1999 in Madrid) was a Spanish poet. She is most associated with the Generation of '27.

Ernestina de Champourcín was born in Vitoria in 1905. She married the poet Juan José Domenchina. After the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) the couple moved to Mexico, where Ernestina found work as an interpreter and translator. Domenchina died in 1959. Ernestina returned to Spain in 1972, and lived in Madrid. She published literary criticism, poetry, a novel, an anthology and memoirs of Juan Ramón Jiménez, who greatly influenced her poetry. Her poetry revolves around the subject of love, at first human love, then divine love, and in her later works the memory of love.
