Maritza Cino Alvear, born in Guayaquil in 1957. She is an Ecuadorian poet and professor.

She grew up with his grandparents, both of Italian origin since she was born thanks to her parents' divorce. When Maritza was 12 years old, her father Luis Cino Santelli contracted new nuptials. As a child, she used to hear the story of how her grandparents, that at an early age, arrived in Guayaquil leaving their hometown, Santa Doménica Talao, due to the First War World 3.

She has been a professor at the State, Catholic and Polytechnic universities of Guayaquil, and she's also the director of literary workshops. She is currently a professor at the University of the Arts.

Maritza Cino Alvear began with the writing of her poems in the adolescence, "as a need to express and metaphorize existence with its fissures and counterpoints." The works carried out were mostly oriented to social and erotic poetry, but she did not put aside love and lethal issues. This occurred as a process of discoveries, stages of questions and thoughts that are reflected in the evolution of her poetry. Her greatest influences were writers such as Kafka, Miller, Lawrence, Huidobro, Plath, Duras and Lezama Lima. She was also influenced by Ecuadorian writers such as Ileana Espinel and Sonia Manzano.

In recent years she made some literary works and among them highlights her book "Días Frívolos", in which at the beginning she places the following phrase "The body returns light and naked when evoking the small creatures that cross memory, every time we travel to the origin".
