Tarde o temprano
Poeta, narrador y ensayista, José Emilio Pacheco es en su vertiente lírica un recuperador de la memoria y un cronista de una época de demoliciones. El transcurrir de la existencia humana está en su poesía con una emoción que, gracias al rigor de la forma y la riqueza verbal, evita con maestría el simple deshaogo.
