About the author
Mario Benedetti
296 books2,685 followersMario Benedetti (full name: Mario Orlando Hamlet Hardy Brenno Benedetti Farugia) was a Uruguayan journalist, novelist, and poet. Despite publishing more than 80 books and being published in twenty languages he was not well known in the English-speaking world. He is considered one of Latin America's most important 20th-century writers.
Benedetti was a member of the 'Generation of 45', a Uruguayan intellectual and literary movement and also wrote in the famous weekly Uruguayan newspaper Marcha from 1945 until it was forcibly closed by the military government in 1973, and was its literary director from 1954. From 1973 to 1985 he lived in exile, and returned to Uruguay in March 1983 following the restoration of democracy.

„Las palabras son dueñas del espacio”
Esta colección de poesía es un testimonio de amor y la tristeza del mundo. Benedetti ha escrito algo que siempre será aquí, presente y vivo

Este fue uno de los primeros poemarios que leí y Benedetti es uno de los principales culpables de que hoy ame la literatura y, en especial, la poesía. Es un poemario breve, pero contiene algunos de los mejores poemas de Benedetti.
