Antonio Oliver Belmás (Cartagena, 29 January 1903 – 28 July 1968) was a Spanish writer, poet, literary critic, historian of Spanish art, and telegraphist.
In 1931, he married the poet Carmen Conde.[1] The couple formed part of the Generation of '27, a group of artists and poets that specialized in the avant-garde. Together they became involved in organising the Universidad Popular de Cartagena, or People's University, set up for the education of working men and women on behalf of the republican government.[2] After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, Belmás joined the republican army and worked on the Popular Front Radio.[1]
After the war, Belmás taught Latin American literature at the University of Madrid. In 1962, the Nicaraguan State University awarded him an honorary degree for his work on Rubén Darío.[1]
He died in 1968.[1]
The Antonio Oliver Belmás International Poetry Award is named in his honour.[3]
