The authors José Martínez Ros (Cartagena, 1981) and Miguel Sánchez Robles (Caravaca de la Cruz, 1957) have won the prizes corresponding to the XXXV Tiflos Literature Prizes in their Poetry and Novel categories respectively.

Absolute winners of these literary prizes awarded this Monday during a gala at the Palacete de los Duques de Pastrana in Madrid.
In the words of the jury member poet Luis Alberto de Cuenca, José Martínez Ros’s winning collection of poems, “A Sentimental Education,” is a work that “mixes references from classical authors with others from authors in the pop music orbit. It is a well thought out book, with a relevant internal unit.The judges were pleasantly surprised by this author who had already won prestigious poetry prizes such as the Adonais or the Blas de Otero».
Indeed, the first collection of poetry by this Cartagena author, ‘The Disease’, won the Adonais Poetry Prize in 2004. He then published ‘A sunrise’, which won the Blas de Otero. His third collection of poems, entitled ‘Trains of Europe’, was published in 2010 by the José Manuel Lara Foundation.
As for ‘I call you sadness’, by Miguel Sánchez Robles, the writer Pilar Adón affirms that “it is a very personal and quite risky novel, and that dedication to literature has served us all well”.
