Territorio. Poesía reunida (1985-2025)

Álvaro Valverde has always loved the image of the crystalline waters of the mountain gorges, whose transparency deceives the arm that tries to reach the pebbles at the bottom. […] Because he understands that this is how his poetry should be: profound and transparent; simple, yet deep; as foreign to “clumsy siege, feigned gesture, / pretentious erudition” as to “theoretical, abstruse,” and meticulous commentaries that contaminate the “sweet ignorance” of the reader, the user; the sum, in short, of clear expression with the deep and enduring content of meditation and memory.
