Poetry
Cuaderno de testimonios
Not translated into English
José Luis Quesada · 1981
Synopsis
Nothing is known of the pieces in this poetry collection or of its own themes. According to a biographical note, the poetry of its author starts from everyday life, cultural references and an existential questioning, and tells of people's response to history, in a tone that some critics judge close to conversation.
Context
The collection appeared in 1981, seven years after a first personal book and a year before the next. Its author said he took the titles of his books from lines by other poets, as a sign of preference and homage, and that he had learned from Ezra Pound that poetry is a serious vocation, not a bohemian pose. The press also ranks him among the figures of the Honduran generation of 1967.
Who it is for
Verse in Spanish, with no French or English translation; in 1990 the author brought together a personal anthology of his poetry.
Prizes and reception
No prize is known for it; the Honduran press counts its author among the voices of the country's avant-garde poetry.
