Tropical Rhapsody: Rapsodia Tropical

Tu luminoso libro Rapsodia Ttropical me permite apreciar la continuidad y singularidad de tu labor poética. Una voz que recorre ese arte de amar que revela la palabra tan justamente elegida, pero que no esconde la segunda verdad importante: su inexorable movimiento hacia la muerte. He recorrido alguno de esos caminos contigo y he apreciado cómo los has esclarecido para disipar las sombras y encontrar el sendero por el que avanzar. En tus versos se celebra el amor y el dolor, la amistad, los espacios y los tiempos compartidos con muchos otros que te han acompañado en el viaje.

Your luminescent book Tropical Rhapsody allows me the opportunity to appreciate the continuity and singularity of your poetic work. A voice that travels across the art of loving as enlightened by the exactly chosen word, yet without concealing the second essential truth: its inexorable journey towards death. I have walked some of those roads with you, and I have thought highly of the way you have brightened the experience by driving away shadows and clearing the path for you to continue. Your poetry celebrates both love and affliction, friendship, times and places you have shared with many others who have accompanied you on your voyage.
