Montserrat Vayreda

Montserrat Vayreda i Trullol (1924-2006) was a Catalan poet.

Biography Vayreda was from Figueres in Girona.

Descended from a family of Catalan artists, she was granddaughter of a recognised botanic, Estanislau Vayreda. Influenced by maternal grandfather, a poet Sebastià Trullol, she tried her hand in poetry herself. Following her literary debut in 1955 she was gaining recognition, publishing also in local periodicals and active in various Catalan cultural initiatives. In 1999 she received Creu de Sant Jordi.

Vayreda was associated with the Catalan poet Sun Estarriol and gave her advice on early poetry.
