Trino Cruz Seruya (born 1960) is a Gibraltarian poet.
Born in Gibraltar in 1960. Of mixed Sephardi, English, Italian and Spanish ancestry, [1] he studied in Liverpool and London before returning to his birthplace in 1983. [2] He has been called a main example of the Spanish-language poetry both in Gibraltar and in the wider scope of the territories circling the Strait of the same name. [3] Commentator of Maghrebian poetry, [2] he has also translated works by authors such as Hassan Najmi and Saadi Yousef. [2] [1] One of the defining traits of his literary work is miscegenation. [4] Trino Cruz has given the opinion that "Gibraltarian literature is a literature nonata" (not yet born), [5] [6] attributing that status to political forces blocking the "creative instincts". [7]
