Coming from a family of artisans, Calvo received a scholarship due to his high talent, which enabled him to study law at the Instituto de Enseñanza Media and then at the Universidad Central de Madrid before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War ended his education. In 1936 his first volume of poems, Poemas del tiempo nuevo , was published, followed by Alba de sangre the following year , both of which were still published under his own name.

Later he was added to the group of the generation 1936 like the poets José Luis Cano and Dionisio Ridruejo and the essayists José Luis López Aranguren , Pedro Laín Entralgo , Julián Marías and José Manuel Blecua .

From the 1970s, in addition to two collections of short stories ( Correo para la muerte , 1973, and Las horas del amor y otras horas ), several autobiographical writings appeared, including the great autobiography Cuadernos de Miguel Alonso (1943-1983) , published in 1989 in the magazine Anthropos and was published in book form in 1991. In addition, Garciasol wrote essays and biographical writings a. a. about Miguel de Cervantes , Francisco de Quevedo , Rubén Darío and Miguel de Unamuno .
