José Agustín Goytisolo Gay (Barcelona, 13 April 1928 – 19 March 1999) was a Spanish poet, scholar and essayist. He was the brother of Juan Goytisolo and Luis Goytisolo, also writers.
Born in Barcelona on 13 April 1928, in an upper class Spanish-only speaking family (that is, non Catalan-speaking though he spoke perfect Catalan and translated Catalan poems into other languages[1]), his family was brutally shaken by the death of his mother (Julia Gay) in a Franoist Nationalist bombardment in 1938. José Agustín was especially affected and named his daughter after his lost mother. In Words for Julia, one of his best-known poems (sung by Paco Ibáñez and Los Suaves, among others), he joins the love for both women. In 1993, in the Elegies to Julia Gay, he united all his mother-themed poems. He also deals with his feelings toward his mother in his later books The return (1955) and End of a goodbye (1984).
In the 1960s and 1970s he was a key contributor to the development of Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura as a multidisciplinary endeavor. From that experience he drew a collection of poems named Taller de Arquitectura, published in 1976.
