History
Alberto Girri was a poet, prose writer, and literary translator from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Like Jorge Luis Borges, he used metaphysics and mysticism in his writings, but uses these as a tool of contemporary criticism. He published many volumes of poetry and was a regular contributor to Victoria Ocampo's magazine, «Sur».
