The Expresso Between

Roerto Echavarren writes riffs in a style that might be called “gonzogongorism.” He is fast and funny, cool, catchy and cruel. If you stick with him, you’ll become unstuck, but you’ll end up knowing more about yourself and what may be happening to you. –JOHN ASHBERY

To speak of Roberto Echavarren is to speak of the Neobaroque, and of a need to scandalize and provoke. It is also to speak of polyphonic verbal pyrotechnics of a kind rarely seen before in Uruguayan poetry. –ALVARO OJEDA

Whispering a language of oddities, The Espresso between Sleep and Wakefulness advances as a mixture of cruelty and humor, where the events express a unique generative law: that of the metamorfosis between the animal and the human, between the organic and the inorganic, between the personal and the impersonal. –ADRIÁN CANGI

We see here the topic of androgyny, emerging with the strength exerted by what has been freed of the gender’s naturalistic impostures, as the poet himself wrote in his essay Gender and Performance. A transgenderism coming from a whole spectrum of sources that affects gender, writing genres, and now the psychic transgeneric passage from sleep to wakefulness. An express train like a unique and continuous vibration. —LUIS BRAVO

Echavarren’s poems are born of an accumulation of experiences; they allow for a plurality of voices, and are formed from numerous, multifarious layers. The poems are characterized by abundance; references and allusions open up toward distinct horizons.—ALEJANDRO PATERNAIN
