Prohens highlights the work and the trajectory of Alzamora, National Poetry Prize

PalmaThe President of the Government, Marga Prohens, has expressed her congratulations to the writer Sebastià Alzamora, who has been awarded the National Poetry Prize.

In a message on social networks reported by Europa Press, the leader of the regional Executive has pointed out that this is a recognition of his work and an extensive career, "marked by his dedication to literature and creation".

Also on social media, the President of the Congress, Francina Armengol, has highlighted that it is an "immense" recognition of a literary career "that has been gifting words, memory, and beauty for decades".

The former president of the Government has also stressed that the award is a source of pride for Mallorca and the Catalan language.

"With Sala Augusta followed by mother tongue you once again demonstrate the strength of your poetry, capable of facing our history head-on and, at the same time, speaking to us from intimacy and tenderness", she added.

Alzamora has been awarded the National Poetry Prize by the Ministry of Culture. The jury chose his work Sala Augusta followed by Mother Tongue (Proa, 2025) for "his ability to transition, with identical brilliance, from the impassioned language of historical denunciation to the delicacy of the domestic space".
