Description: If there is a dominant literary genre in Venezuela, it is undoubtedly poetry. A reading of the twentieth century reveals an admirable thirst for modernity and cosmopolitanism. One of the main reasons for presenting the expansive vision offered by this anthology to an international audience may well be found in what Álvaro Mutis once said about the poetry of Venezuelan writer Juan Sánchez Peláez, describing it as “Latin America’s best-kept secret.” One of his emblematic books, Rasgos comunes (Common Traits), lends its title to this volume to underscore the idea that convergence outweighs disparity. What lingers after reading is a powerful sense of embodiment—a sense that the best version of the nation is the one expressed here. (Pretextos)
