Who was Rużar Briffa?

Rużar Briffa was a Maltese poet and dermatologist, and a major figure in Maltese literature.

“I never thought of publishing these poems in a book. Some were written in hard times, others in moments of joy. And I wrote them for myself.” These were the poet’s words as they appeared in his first collection of poetry, Poeżiji, published in 1971 thanks to his second wife Louisette and his friend P. Valentin Barbara’s constant encouragement.
