Un honor tener mi poema ‘Volatíl’ en la segunda edición de la revista Ascua, con base en Copenhague, Dinamarca.
My poem “Volatíl” has been published in issue #2 of Ascua Magazine.
I’m excited to announce that my novel The Underachiever has been published by the New York-based publisher Spuyten Duyvil!
Synopsis:
A critically acclaimed author who has already published two successful novels finds himself haunted by dissatisfaction and paralyzing self-doubt. Desperate to match the literary brilliance of Cortázar, Pynchon, and Nabokov, the unnamed writer embarks on a creative odyssey, experimenting with various styles while wrestling with the limitations of language, the inevitability of death, and the vanity of seeking literary fame.
This novel is a profound exploration of the struggles artists face in their incessant quest for perfection and the arduous path toward finding their authentic voice. The Underachiever will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with self-doubt, questioned their purpose, or longed for something beyond the ordinary.
Described as “a postmodern philosophical maze,” The Underachiever is a must-read for those who appreciate thought-provoking literature and the works of subversive authors such as Barthelme, DeLillo, Pessoa, and Danielewski, to name just a few.
Get your copy of The Underachiever and discover an unconventional story that challenges the very essence of creativity, ambition, and what it means to strive for greatness.
You can purchase it online directly from the publisher’s website: here.
The book is available internationally through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other booksellers. For readers in Denmark, you can find it on Saxo, or reach out to me directly if you’d like a signed copy.

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.

My debut poetry book in Spanish “El individuo y su ceniza” published by Valparaíso Ediciones is now in bookstores in Spain and for sale online.

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.”
