This is evident in the studies by Alvaro Miranda, Rómulo Cosse, Victor Guerra (a comparative study of Figueredo and Fernando Pessoa), and Jonathan Cohen*, as well as in the greater mention online of his poetry online and in literary journals and anthologies.

Though some of his poems are included in several Spanish-language anthologies (Bordoli; Brena; Visca; Paternain, Rela) and one in translation (by William Carlos Williams in New World Writing), his work has only recently begun to be more widely studied internationally.

During his lifetime (1907-1966) Alvaro Figueredo published two collections of poetry and various poems in other publications. He founded the literary journal, Mástil, and received awards for his critical essays on literature and pedagogy.

A commemorative edition of one of Alvaro Figueredo’s poetry collections, MUNDO A LA VEZ (originally published in 1956) was re-edited in 2007 by Botella al Mar Editions in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a foreward by Rafaeal Gomensoro.

Several celebrations of his life and work were organized in Uruguay during 2007 to honour his legacy.

On April 10, 2007, the Primer Homenaje del año 2007 was held at the Third International Meeting of the “Poetas de las Dos Orillas” in Montevideo and had over 100 attendees, that included poets from Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Brazil, and invited speakers, R. Gomensoro, J. Albistur and J. Báez. These speakers discussed Alvaro Figueredo’s poetic work, particularly of MUNDO A LA VEZ.

Another event was held on the birth date of the poet on September 6, 2007, at his birthplace, Pan de Azúcar, Uruguay, at the location of the Casa de Cultura y Museo Alvaro Figueredo. Dr. Maria del Luján Figueredo, eldest granddaughter of the poet, was invited to give a lecture on the poetry of Alvaro Figueredo, “Acercamiento a la subjetividad en la poesía de Álvaro Figueredo.” [An Approach to Subjectivity in the Poetry of Alvaro Figueredo] Montevideo, Uruguay.
