Néstor Ponce

Néstor Ponce (Argentina, 1955) is a poet, novelist, short story writer, and essayist. He has lived in France since 1979, when he arrived as a political exile. His work has received numerous literary prizes and recognitions, including the Siglo XXI International Prize for the novel Una vaca ya pronto serás (Siglo XXI, 2006). In 2013, his book of poetry Desapariencia no engaña (El suri porfiado, 2010) was selected by Argentina’s Ministry of Culture to be distributed to all schools and public libraries in the country. Translated into English by Max Ubelaker Andrade as Disappearance without absence (Waterloo Press 2017), it is a response to the violence of the military junta (1976-1983) that works with the contradictions of presence and absence, imagination and memory. Néstor Ponce is Professor Emeritus at the University of Rennes II. Vos es (boy says) is his fourth book of poetry; it was originally published by El suri porfiado in 2018.
