Cuentos de poeta

A tender, slightly melancholic voice guides the listener through a handful of intimate sketches that feel more like whispered conversations than polished tales. The poet‑author blends fleeting letters, brief reminiscences and vivid vignettes, all filtered through the rhythms of early‑twentieth‑century Caribbean life. The prose carries the cadence of verse, turning everyday scenes into small, resonant poems that linger long after the narration ends.

Among the stories, a nocturnal episode opens with Pedro snuffing his lamp, letting darkness swallow a room full of polished marble and gilt portraits, and the stillness that follows sparks a quiet, introspective mood. Other pieces recall a father’s lingering pain, a youthful figure named Juanito who earns a laurel, and playful banter among poets sharing wine on a city bench. Each narrative is short yet richly textured, inviting listeners to sit beside the author and hear the gentle murmur of lives lived on the edge of longing and humor.
