El amor es decir: “Ven a mi casa
y comparte conmigo la luz y la palabra.
Disfruta de mi paz, habla tu idioma
que es como el mío cuando tú lo hablas."

I very seldom read poems that move me deeply (am I too jaded?) and leave me happily mumbling, ‘this is a real poet, a great poet’. These by the Colombian Federico Díaz-Granados did the miracle.

Today's Featured Poet:
Novelist, poet, painter, and literary theorist, Severo Sarduy was one of the most groundbreaking Latin American writers of the 20th century. His neo-baroque style influenced such novelists as Mario Vargas Llosa and Carlos Fuentes. He died in 1993.

Late Fragment
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
--Raymond Carver
