Abstract
Without a doubt, the figure of Catalan poet Jaime Ferrán has left an indelible mark on Syracuse University, where he was a professor for over 30 years. This article is a small tribute to his personal and professional contributions through the analysis of the recent work of two Spanish poets (Francisco Díaz de Castro and Aurora Luque) who, in the spirit of Ferrán’s legacy, recently visited and presented their work at Syracuse University and Le Moyne College.
