Luego de dos décadas y un poco más de escribir poesía, este proceso culmina (y al mismo tiempo inicia otra nueva fase) con este libro. El trabajo de publicar un libro requiere una larga colaboración. Agradezco a los que me han ayudado a través de este proceso, empezando con mi amiga y poeta Elizabeth Torres, que ha sido una gran inspiración y mentora en mi camino como poeta en los últimos años. Extiendo un sincero agradecimiento a la poeta Angela García por leer el manuscrito y escribir una reseña que ahora vive en la contraportada de mi libro.
Igualmente, agradezco al equipo editorial de Valparaíso Ediciones por aceptar mi poemario que se une a una impresionante colección de publicaciones por esta gran editorial.
Se hará una recepción del poemario ‘El Individuo y su ceniza’ en Red Door, fecha y detalles por confirmarse.

After two decades of writing poetry, this process culminates (and at the same initiates a new phase) with this book. The work of publishing a book requires a long collaboration. I am grateful to those who have helped me through this process, starting with my friend and poet Elizabeth Torres, who has been a great inspiration and mentor on my path as a poet in recent years. I extend sincere thanks to the poet Angela García for reading the manuscript and writing a review that now lives on the back cover of my book.
Likewise, I thank the editorial team of Valparaíso Ediciones for accepting my submission, which joins an impressive collection of publications by this great publishing house.
Delighted to have 3 poems published in the 35th edition of Posit journal. A special thanks to the editors for the brief editorial note accompanying my work:
Pablo Saborío’s poems sing with music and meaning, burning with “the fire / that only a human mouth // can ignite into language.” With stunning economy, his mellifluous words create worlds as intriguingly strange as they are resonantly familiar. Each of these poems is like a “house [that] hosts / an ecosystem of desires.” These poems of heart, hope, and subtle ideation expect the reader to be “writing / this by reading this” even as we embrace “uncertainty / as a tangible thing: // more actual than the mist / that blurs the horizon / after your thoughts arise.”

From the event’s description:
Red Door presents THE COLOR OF UNCERTAINTY, featuring the latest works by Costa Rican-Danish artist Pablo Saborío.
After a period of unrest, isolation and existential uncertainty, Saborío wrestled with the darkness of his mind to create new works that explore the potency of color as a means of achieving catharsis – the purification of emotions through art, which culminated in a sense of renewal.
The works exhibited feature pulsating fields of dynamic frenzy while simultaneously (and paradoxically) being in a state of composure. Saborío utilizes different mediums such as paper pulp, ink, acrylics, and wood on acrylic glass to create stunning effects.
These are some of Saborío’s ‘last paintings’ before he transitioned toward video poetics, a merging of experimental video art and poetic discourse.
THE COLOR OF UNCERTAINTY will also feature a display of many of Saborío’s video productions.
Beer, wine and refreshments will be served for the opening.
BIO:
