[Paloma Zubieta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Siempre he pensado que la poesía de María Negroni es como la caligrafía japonesa: pocos trazos pero muy elegantes, bellísimos, etéreos, cargados de tantos significados. Me encanta.

como una luz privada
en el asombro
oscuro del poema

a ciertos besos
a la subida del invierno
es mejor no entrar
se ve demasiado
o demasiado poco
