Este vivir en vilo : Antología poética

Recognizing the poetic work of Rafael Cadenas is not only an act of justice toward the quality of his work, but also an obligation for all those who seek in words a commitment, lucidity, reflection, an observation, and an examination of reality that fosters a shared attitude toward the world and toward themselves. Awarded the Miguel de Cervantes Prize for Literature in the Spanish Language in 2022, Cadenas has proven to be not only one of the most important voices in Venezuelan literature of the last fifty years, but also in all of Spanish-language poetry. This book traces his poetic trajectory, thus representing the strength and impact of a poet as firm as he is profound in his approach to literature.
