Iris Pavón (1906–1951) was an Argentine poet and writer.
Life
Pavón was born in 1906 in the small pampas town of Loberia.[1] She later relocated to Deán Funes, Cordoba and then to Cruz del Eje, where she came to maturity as a writer.
Anarchist in her beliefs,[2] Pavón was very vocal on issues of social justice. She took up the pen on behalf of the Bragado case of 1931 and the Sacco-Vanzetti case in the US.[1] She contributed to radical journals such as Reconstruir. She was imprisoned in 1944 alongside her partner Marcos Dukelsky.[1]
Among her poems is "Huesos", dedicated to a worker who died during the construction of the Cruz del Eje dam. A collection of her texts, from the 1920s to the 1940s, was published two years after her death under the title Pasión de Justicia.[3] It was reprinted in 2019.
She died in September 1951.[1][4]
