Summary: A basic poet.
Comment: Nowadays, you cannot pull apart Jaime Sabines from Latin American Poetry. He did what hadn't been in years. Young readers telling his poems. And as the film "Il Postino" quotes, "Poetry belongs to which needs it, not to it's creator". You can find in this poems all you always wanted to express but you were affraid to do so. He is EXQUISITE but a "day after day poet". Read one poem every night as the dessert of your days. I am proud of such a talent. The translations in this book keep the sensivity that Jabines gave us. He is a master of life. He is now, breaking language and culture, a basic poet.

Summary: I DON'T THINK I CAN FIND A BETTER POET THAN JAIME SABINES
Comment: No one can express about life, love, death and pain as Sabines did. The simplicity of his words enclose the beauty of "everyday life". He wrote for him, and for common people, not for poets, big writers or critics. I just can tell one of the most intense experiences of my whole life, was a reading of his poems in the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City. More than 3,000 people cried, laughed, cheered, and loved at the same time there. And the whole show was an old man, reading his poems in a wheelchair, behind a desk. Nothing more.

Summary: Sabines, a wise-guy poet
Comment: Since Sabines has worked on a simple poetry, and since his acceptance has been quite enthusiastic, he has done a lot of easy, quite boring poetry for the people. I would only recommend the first books, "Tarumba", "Adán y Eva", "Horal", and "La señal".
