Jorge Aulicino, journalist and one of the fundamental voices of poetry, has died.

Jorge Aulicino , one of the most influential voices in contemporary Argentine poetry and a leading figure in cultural journalism , has died at the age of 75. His career spanned more than five decades of writing, editing, and translation , with a body of work that left a mark on the Hispanic American literary field.

Jorge Aulicino has died, but he will live on forever in his magnificent translation of "The Divine Comedy," which should be a staple in every Spanish-speaking home. May he rest in peace.
