5.0 out of 5 stars Don Mario, a sublime poet, December 10, 2001
By 
O. M. Suarez "aerobol" (Mayagüez, Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Uruguay has given the world and Latin America, in particular, enormous artists: Galeano, Los Olimareños, Zitarrosa. In the poetry department, Don Mario Benedetti can be crowned as the most impressive Latin American living poet. His lyricism born from the guts of his city, Montevideo, needn't use whimsical words or rhymes. Plain, gutsy verses mix with extremely exquisite phrases, like beatiful tiny drops of beauty on a close-woven bindweed. Yet no fancy words are there to express soft or deep or subtle or moving or furious emotions. Seven decades after his birth, Don Mario demostrates his greatness in this collection of Uruguayan pearls. These words synthesize Don Mario's message: "todo lo que nos duele y lo que somos/existe más acá del horizonte" [everything in us that hurts and that we are/exists on this side of the horizon].

5.0 out of 5 stars tremenda lectura, May 23, 2007
By 
"La vida ese parentesis" nos permite ver diversos aspectos de la vida urbana, con sus deleites y dolores, complicaciones y simplicidades.

Decir Benedetti es decir unos de los mejores poetas hispanos vivos; y este libro, como sus otros trabajos -que ya rebasan los 70 libros-, son lisa y llana prueba de ello.

"La vida ese parentesis" para mi fue una eleccion apropiada, en lo que a poesia contemporanea refiere. Lo recomiendo con gusto como un excelente libro de poemas.

Don Benedetti siempre hace pensar, y ademas, utiliza un sentido del humor muy particular, mientras pone el dedo en las llagas de la sociedad enferma, de la cual somos parte de manera ineludible -aunque no en todo responsables por sus virtudes y desgracias, claro está.

(Para una antologia poetica espiritual, de la pluma de los grandes literatos españoles e hispanoamericanos, vea: Pulpito y Poesia: Recursos poeticos para la predicacion, la ensenanza y la devocion espiritual)
