In a life lived with the intensity of those that experience it to the fullest, the poet makes a pause along the way to analyze and recount that which he really appreciates and which truly belongs to him. And it is during this introspection that he discovers that nothing that is inherently human is alien to him. A discovery in which us, his readers, are both joyful participants and passengers to his personal voyage since Benedetti s poetry is, as should be the case with every example of this literary form, the launching pad for a journey to the deepest recesses of our souls. Description in Después de toda una vida vivida con intensidad, el poeta se toma tiempo para hacer un recuento de lo que en verdad aprecia y verdaderamente le pertenece. Descubre que nada humano le es ajeno, y en ese descubrimiento sus lectores (nosotros) somos al mismo tiempo participantes del regocijo y navegantes de rutas personales, pues la poesía de Benedetti es, como debe ser toda poesía digna de respeto, una plataforma para el despegue hacia un viaje al interior de nosotros mismos.

Mario Benedetti
Author · 63 books
Mario 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.
