Synopses & Reviews
This anthology of the great poems of Mario Benedetti, as Pedro Orgambide affirms in his introduction, "are the inventory of a man of simple appearance, of subtle gesture and voice, a fellow man, a nobody who talks of love, of other nobodies and of nude women, and draws readers in to his word, stripped of all solemnity. Thus Benedetti creates his work, thus he perseveres in his poetic vocation, which is nothing but the vocation of living."
