M. Benedetti Mario Benedetti is one of my favorite poets. The first time I read one of his poems was in 2010, a year after his death. Until that time I had always thought that poetry was too romantic or too difficult to understand. However, I found Mario Benedetti’s poetry very clear, but maintaining the lyricism. Since I’ve discovered this writer I dare to read poetry, and I started keep my favorite quotes. I leave you some. “That to not get hurt, we build walls (…) That it would be better to build bridges” “They said goodbye, but along with it, there was the welcome”
