The Mexican writer Benito Taibo is one of Camilasbooks’ favorites, however, it is not always because of his novels, which he likes a lot, but also because of his role as a poet, and it is precisely a collection of poetry that the reviewer recommends for this Saturday.
Camilasbooks met Taibo through her book ?Normal Person?, a novel written in 2011, which she also recommends reading, as it made her feel hugged and supported at a time when she needed it. But it is “Go unnoticed”, the collection of poems that captivated you by this writer, which hit the shelves in 2022.
?Benito Taibo is a Mexican author that I value very much and I have always really liked his work, and finding him in this collection of poems called ?Go unnoticed? It has been a great surprise, not only because he writes in an incredible way, but also because we explored, in some way, a totally different facet of this author?
For Camilasbooks, Benito Taibo has “something in his pen that makes him so particular, because he has very exquisite writing. I love reading it, it’s like a shelter, at the same time it gives a lot through its words and that fascinates me a lot.
This collection of poems brings together poems that the author has written in different years, starting from 198, until the first decade of the 2000s.
Camilasbooks mentioned that, although she is used to reading poetry about love and heartbreak, among other existentialist themes, she was surprised by Taibo’s, since she found a more everyday poetry that tells what can happen to us daily and that Benito makes those things happen. do not be lost in oblivion.
?In reality, the things that Benito writes have always been a shelter for me, they have always been a way of looking from another perspective, also with great desire, with a lot of faith and hope placed in life and that is very noticeable in his words, it is something that is always reflected in his work and is very beautiful. He is an author who makes you want to live, gives you energy, gives you something that can bring you well-being and I am very grateful for that? Camilasbooks noted.
