Spanish Edition by Santiago Acosta (Author), Gustavo Guerrero (Contributor)
See all formats and editions
Santiago Acosta (San Francisco, Estados Unidos, 1983) es una de las voces más singulares de la poesía venezolana contemporánea. Ha publicado los libros Detrás de los erizos (2007), diagonales (2010), Mañana vendrán las piedras (2018), Cuaderno de otra parte (2018) y El próximo desierto (Premio Ciudad y Naturaleza José Emilio Pacheco, 2019). Actualmente es profesor de Cultura Latinoamericana en la Universidad de Yale. «Si hubiera que resumir en unas pocas palabras lo que Santiago Acosta nos plantea con sus versos, habría que decir que nos encontramos ante un formidable tour de force: la paradoja de escribir sobre nuestro desesperado presente sin cortapisas ni concesiones y con tanto ahínco, fuerza e inteligencia como para que podamos sentir que, al final de cada poema, algo sigue brillando en la oscuridad e irónicamente sobrevive. Y es que lejos de todo nihilismo, lo que la aguerrida palabra de Acosta quiere transmitirnos en última instancia es menos una visión de nuestros miedos actuales que la urgencia con que debemos asumir el reto de rescatar de las ruinas del planeta nuestro agónico deseo de un porvenir». Gustavo Guerrero
