Los hilos rotos

The challenge of contemporary poetry is, with the wicks of inherited rhetoric and prosody, to do the same and differently: to return to the usual themes from unforeseen angles and not let the old rhythms drown out the new voice. Antonio Rivero Taravillo dominates the resources and puts them -music and depth- at the service of a poetry that seeks to move, disturb, fix what disappears and rescue what is already gone. A poet with an ear and a capacity for observation, his verses are full of epiphanies and voices that resonate from afar and continue to reverberate in the readers.
