PREMIO CERVANTES 2024

El presente volumen recoge cuatro libros de poesa de lvaro Pombo: Protocolos, Variaciones, Hacia una constitucin potica del ao en curso y Protocolos para la rehabilitacin del firmamento. Reconocido como uno de los narradores ms brillantes y renovadores de la literatura espaola de las ltimas dcadas, Pombo es asimismo un esplndido poeta, dueo de una voz turbadoramente original, entreverada de imgenes y ritmos inslitos que actan adems como contrapunto ideal de su prosa. Como nos dice Jos Antonio Marina en el prlogo, su poesa es una obra brillante e innovadora, que contiene, adems, la clave del resto de su literatura.

En la poesa hay una voz alta y fuerte: es mi voz sin duda, que canta al mundo y tambin a la desesperacin y melancola. lvaro Pombo

Awards Jury

This volume is a compilation of four books of poetry by lvaro Pombo: Protocolos, Variaciones, Hacia una constitucin potica del ao en curso and Protocolos para la rehabilitacin del firmamento. Hailed as one of the most brilliant and refreshing narrators in contemporary Spanish literature, Pombo is also a magnificent poet. His is an unsettlingly original voice that employs startling images and rhythms as the ideal counterpoint to his prose. As Jos Antonio Marina writes in the prologue, Pombos poetry is brilliant and innovative, and holds the key to the rest of his literature.

There is a loud, strong voice in poetry: my voice, without doubt, a paean to the world as well as melancholy and desperation. lvaro Pombo
