Arnaldo Calveyra is an Argentine poet, born in Mansilla, Entre Ríos in 1932, who has lived most of his artistic life in Paris, France. According to the Clarín, Calveyra was once a friend of the great Argentine writer Julio Cortazar, who also lived and wrote for much of his life in France. Now, Calverya is in Argentina once again, participating in a promotion of the first compellation of poems published under the editor Adriana Hidalgo. The book is called “Poesía reunida,” or “Poetry Reunited.” While this may be a retrospective for the poet, he is in no way becoming “traditional” in his views about poetry. Calveyra calls text messages “eminently poetic,” linking conventions like grammar to a government “sick with power.” With such opinions, controversial and strong, he should make for an interesting figure to watch in the years to come.
