Reading Juan Suárez is like that feeling in which we touch the moor for the first time.
By Eduardo Leon | Writer and director of Portal Cultural The poetry of the neighbor
The collection of poems came to me recently We have grown grass. The author himself defines it as a home-book. Juan Suarez Proaño, a writer from Otava, shows us another form of beauty, a simpler one. His word does not play games and from time to time he throws us wildly into life, but for poetry it is always a good time. The man of letters with his sensitivity breaks our skin, because he openly shows us the secret of simple things.
Certain passages of the poet strip us of hope, but they assist us with a reflection of not blaming sadness and encourage us to be like two bodies about to love. His text leaves us exposed to the humidity of the breath, of the past and of that time that gushes out like a wave that is lost in the traces that the sun caresses in a horizon of survival..
Reading Juan Suárez is like that feeling in which we touch the moor for the first time.
As additional information, this month will be the presentation of his latest collection of poems: Things denied (National Prize for Parallel Zero Poetry 2021). (O)
