Antonio Porchia (1885–1968) was an Italian-Argentine poet known for his profound and enigmatic writings. Born in Conflenti, Italy, he immigrated to Argentina as a young man and settled in Buenos Aires. Porchia worked as a carpenter and lived a quiet life away from the literary circles. His most famous work is 'Voces' (Voices), a collection of aphoristic poems that explore themes of human existence, identity, and the mysteries of life. Despite his reclusive nature, Porchia's writings have gained widespread recognition for their philosophical depth.
