    Es curioso que a este poeta no le llegara el Cervantes. Mejor así. Su estigma aureolado de la gran poesía que nos deja evidencia una vez más que la poesía no precisa de los mecanismos del poder para permanecer sino de nuestra inteligencia para no olvidar y de nuestro coraje para re-citar a los poetas que en verdad han sido los hioitrsadores de nuestro tiempo.Un abrazote,Tu Viktor
