Timeline

1945

Luis Alberto Ambroggio (Córdoba, Argentina, 1945) is an Argentine American poet, independent scholar and writer.

Full Member of the North American Academy of the Spanish Language (Academia Norteamericana de la Lengua Española) and correspondent of the Spanish Royal Academy (Real Academia Española).

His works include essays, poetry and translations.

His poems have been translated into English, French, Italian, Rumanian, Mandarin, Korean, Catalan, Hebrew, Portuguese, Japanese, Turkish and are recorded in the Archives of the Hispanic-American Literature of the U.S. Library of Congress.

Born in Rio Tercero (Ctalamochita, its Indian name), between the Pampas and the mountains of the province of Cordoba, Argentina, Luis Alberto Ambroggio is the son of Dr. Ernesto Pedro Ambroggio, dentist, founder of one of the first institutes of Orthodontics in Cordoba and Perla Lutereau de Ambroggio, philosophy professor at the National and Catholic Universities of Cordoba, a "recognized and feared teacher, anti-dictatorship, who was expelled from the campus by mounted police, a woman of deep faith and at the same time admirer of Nietzsche, she certainly has had a decisive influence on the personality and calling of her son."

He attended primary school in Cordoba and high school in Rosario.

Before the age of fifteen he had written poems and won poetry contests.

His mother, noticing this ability, gave him an anthology of César Vallejo; this would mark the beginning of his career in poetry.

During his college years he continued his interest in Plato, Aristotle, Augustine of Hippo and then he was attracted by the writings of Racine, Voltaire, Kant, and Nietzsche.

Hence, his first publication was a philosophical textbook of epistemology written in collaboration with his mother.

Today his philosophical readings are more inclined to the thoughts of Ricoeur and Wittgenstein.

In Argentina, he received his doctoral degree in philosophy and completed other doctoral studies in social science at The Catholic University of America.

He also has an MBA from Virginia Tech.

1967

He came to the United States in 1967.

Under the Leadership Program of the United Nations, he served as an intern in the U.S. Congress and then on the White House Cabinet Committee for the advancement of the Hispanic population during the Nixon administration.

He also worked at the Pan American Development Foundation and at the Embassy of Argentina in Washington, DC.

1976

In 1976 Ambroggio founded the company, Aerospace International Marketing (AIM), which he sold in 2001 and would continue as the Chief Advisor to the Board until 2008.

Ambroggio has given recitals and lectures at over 30 universities.

As a member of the faculty of the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Florida Gulf Coast University, Ambroggio has taught seminars and lectured on various topics including the art of writing poetry.

He has translated poems by William Carlos Williams, DH Lawrence, Dylan Thomas and Robert Pinsky.

He has published twenty books of poetry, four of which are bilingual, a book on the art of writing poetry, a collection of short stories, and a book of essays.

Ambroggio writes in various genres: poetry, essays, stories that he keeps in notebooks.

In some of his poems he reflects different stages of his life: agnostic, socially committed, loving, a period of exile.

In If Dawn Comes: War Songs (Por si amanece: cantos de Guerra) he interprets the theme of violence in war while at the same time emphasizing the culture of peace.

In Poems of Loving and Living (Poemas de amor y vida) he incorporates what he calls "a multifaceted love" of son, father, husband.

Amateur aviator in Air Man (Hombre del Aire), from an airplane, he meditates on the volatility and the contradictions of existence.

Influenced by F. Nietzsche, César Vallejo, Jorge Luis Borges, Vicente Aleixandre, his poetry has been described by Pulitzer-prize winner Oscar Hijuelos as:

"wise and philosophical. It owns an inimitable cadence, uncommon good sense, and a smoldering depth—for there is fire in Ambroggio's blueness, an earthy eroticism in his lyric register."

According to Gerardo Piña-Rosales, Director of the North-American Academy of the Spanish Language, Ambroggio's work reflects a tradition of Hispanic literature and culture.

Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky "the essential quality of Luis Alberto Ambroggio's poetry is immediacy: the vividness of images..."

Adriana Corda states "Luis Alberto Ambroggio chooses an invisible power, without land nor identity, as a symbol of a deep cultural malaise at a collective level and responsible for refracting the dantesque domaines at the individual level; he parodizes, he shows the irony, he accuses, he limits ..."
