Francisco Granizo
Francisco Granizo Ribadeneira (1925–2009) was an Ecuadorian poet born in Quito on November 8, 1925, and died on January 21, 2009. For some, he was considered a model for Ecuadorian religious lyrical poetry; his work surpasses an exact classification and in more than one occasion, it has been categorized as "intense poetry", a middle ground between eroticism, mysticism, and existentialism. An exemplary and sustained lyrical trajectory, increasingly deeper and higher, has left him as the highest place within the slope of the current Ecuadorian lyrical poetry." Granizo studied in San Gabriel High School and afterwards he continued his studies with a major in Law at the Central University of Ecuador.
