Manuel Asur
Template:Short description Manuel Asur (Manuel Asur González García) (Güeria Carrocera, San Martín del Rey Aurelio, Asturias, 1947) is a Spanish essayist and poet in Asturian. He's considered to be one of the first modern poets in this language. He has a PhD in Philosophy. His book, Cancios y poemes pa un riscar ('Songs and Poems to a Dawn') meant the beginning in 1977 of the rebirth (Asturian surdimientu) of Asturian literature, because he contributed with a poetry more modern and daring than anything written before in this language. Most of his works talk about the socio-political facts of the moment. Some became very popular in Asturias in the 1970s since the group Nuberu used them as lyrics for their songs.[1][2] He wrote also a book of short stories in 1987, Hai una llinia trazada ('There's a Drawn Line'), consisting of short stories that he says to consider "almost monologues".[1] He's a currentScript error: No such module "Unsubst". contributor to La Nueva España publications[1] and works in the Consejería de Medio Rural y Pesca del Principado de Asturias.
Asur has been an academician of the Academy of the Asturian Language for many years.[3][4]
