Luis Alberto de Cuenca. Line poet Clara

Luis Alberto de Cuenca. POET OF line. Fernando Alonso Barahona "Try to keep your hand as without it, your muse you're nobody, poet." Luis Alberto de Cuenca The poet makes clear line flowing crystalline form your idea and your writing: Quevedo love dust , Espronceda robust singing, rhyme Bécquer stealth, the pain of Campoamor, the immense amount of Vicente Aleixandre, naked and pure poetry of Juan Ramón Jiménez, the lyrical grace of Machado ... and many others who have torn pages of gold in the glass lens which is the Spanish language. Two clear line writers, a poet, Luis Alberto de Cuenca, a novelist, Clara Sanchez (Presentations. Alfaguara. 2008) have managed to thrill the soul of the reader with his latest works. Now for the first contribution. Luis Alberto de Cuenca (Madrid, December 1950) was director of the National Library (1995-1999) and Secretary of State for Culture (1999-2003) in the government of José María Aznar, translator, editor of a wonderful volume called "One hundred best poems in the Spanish language", his work spans several genres but especially a poet of line.

His work in verse has been shelled in recent times in the anthology "Without fear and without hope" and the splendid "Life in flames."

Through them, the astonished reader approaches the inner world of the author, his ghost, his haunts, his vision of the world and man. And the magic of the words: Elsinore, however strong and borders, The Silver Box, The ax and the rose ...... The result is a poetry attractive, classic, unique and totally personal. As the film Howard Hawks, Raoul Walsh and John Ford ..... not enough to describe it, you have to feel it. "Live life to live it dawns (...) unhappy or glorious morning riding through ruined cities or polluted rain or havens without looking back. Live the Life" Or this beautiful statement: "But why I will not be the same tiemposueño and life, be the doctor and heridaLuis of Granada and Baudelaire "This remarkable ability to combine political management (his years at the State Department), the encyclopedic curiosity for all the manifestations of culture, from the "comic? the Gothic novel, from cinema to the bibliophile, and this anthology of poems that move because he can unite at once reason and feeling, is what puts Luis Alberto de Cuenca in the cultural vanguard of contemporary Spain.

And also from political incorrectness and a healthy independence of mind and thought to increase - if anything - the importance of their proposals.
