Biography
Granda was born in Riobamba, Ecuador, on June 7, 1935, to Aurora Espinoza and Ángel Polibio Granda. He was married to the poet Violeta Luna, with whom he had four children. After he and Luna divorced, he married Ximena Mendoza Párraga, also a poet. They had no children.[citation needed]
Career
Granda studied psychiatry at the Central University of Ecuador and the University of Guayaquil. Parallel to his studies in medicine, he also became interested in literature, particularly in poetry.[2] Granda's poems often explored the human mental condition. In a (translated) interview with El Universo, Granda pointed out that "the poetry that I do in a certain way is surreal, that is, using elements and internal experiences of the human being. It's a huge advantage to have been a psychiatrist."[3]
Granda published 17 books during his lifetime.
Death
Granda died on February 22, 2018, at the age of 82.
