An intimate conversation about Gloria Fuertes, a unique writer whose life and work deserve to be told and honored.

Gloria Fuertes is remembered for her appearances on children's programs and her talent as a poet, but that other Gloria Fuertes remains hidden, the one who didn't appear in the media, the one who spent her final years in solitude, finding solace in her cigarettes, her whiskey, and her house overflowing with objects that reflected the passage—and the weight—of time. A Gloria Fuertes weary of seeing her friends and lovers die... Because she loved intensely, even if that wasn't spoken of.

Gloria. The Poet of Forbidden Loves is a collective work coordinated by Lola Lapaz that compiles a series of testimonies that can explain what she was like and the impact she left on the lives of many people. The true story of Gloria Fuertes deserves to be known and recognized, so that others can also see themselves reflected in her image.

Along with Lola Lapaz, the work also includes former mayor of Madrid Manuela Carmena; writer and poet Luna Miguel; writer, poet, and translator Gloria Fortún; US-based researcher Ana Isabel Simón Alegre; writer and cultural activist Carlos Barea; poet Belén Reyes, a personal friend of Fuertes; and writer and journalist Darío Gael Blanco Gómez de Barreda.
