Although the narrative of Jesús David Curbelo offered him early laurels and has earned him abundant readers, his poetry is undoubtedly the core of his creative orb. His renewing audacity is profound, because he does not dazzle himself with the snobbish and scandalous, but knows how to revisit the Cuban and global literary tradition to effectively capture the tragic subjectivity of today’s human being.
