Biografie

Clara Luz Niggemann (d.2000) was a poet. She was born in Cuba in 1910 to Enrique and Amelia Niggemann. She lived in Camagüey but later moved to the U.S.

In Cuba, she mentored the writer Severo Sarduy and published his first poems in the newspaper that she was involved with, El Camagüeyano. She and Sarduy called them the "Krishnamurtian ballads."

Her book of poetry, Remolino de fuego: Poemas, was published in 1980 by Ediciones Rondas. Another collection entitled “En este andar febril” was published in 1990 by Indiana University Press. Another of her works, “En la puerta dorada” was published by Valencia. Her poetry was featured in many journals, including Revista Norte and in anthologies such as Poesía cubana contemporánea published by la editorial Catoblepas de Madrid in 1986, and Antología de la poesía cósmica cubana published by Fredo Arias de la Canal pública in México. An essay about her work, “Mágica presencia poética de Clara Niggemann,” was written by Gloria Vega de Alba, and published by Grupo de los 9 (Uruguay) in 1986.
