Cultura entre rejas

El autor relata su permanencia durante 23 años en las cárceles franquistas. Esta terrible experiencia, incluyendo una condena a muerte luego conmutada, es, sin embargo, el comienzo de su andadura como poeta. Marcos Ana mantendrá tanto su actividad política en el Partido Comunista como una incansable actividad cultural a pesar de las limitaciones a que eran sometidos por el régimen. Sus poemas irán saliendo de forma clandestina de la prisión y llegarán a oídos de poetas como Alberti o María Teresa León, transformando a su autor en un ejemplo de la resistencia ante la represión franquista.Palabras clave: Represión franquista, cárceles, poesía, Partido Comunista.Abstract: The author tells his stay during 23 years in Franco’s prisons.That terrible experience, including a sentence to death later commutated, is, anyway, the beginning of his poetic career.
