Eduardo Lizalde Chávez was a Mexican poet, scholar, and administrator who was born in Mexico City, Mexico. He passed away on May 25, 2022.
Eduardo Lizalde Chávez was born on July 14, 1929. Lizalde earned the nickname “El Tigre” due to reoccurring themes in his work.
These themes sprang from Lizalde’s affection for the tales of Salgari and Kipling throughout his boyhood. According to him, “The tiger has been a fascinating figure from Biblical times till today, and I don’t believe there has ever been a writer who has never made a reference to tigers.”
This is what he has to say on this topic. The tiger is a symbol not just of beauty but also of ugliness, devastation, and death.
Mexico’s capital city, Mexico City, is where Lizalde was born. He received his education at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Reading and writing were taught to him by his father, an engineer, and at the age of 18, he started composing poems. He joined the Communist Party of Mexico in 1955 but was kicked out of the organization at the beginning of the 1960s for his involvement.
At the moment, he serves as the director of the José Vasconcelos Library and as a co-host on Contrapunto, a radio show that is broadcast every weekday from the IICRE.
