El faro disoriente tells the story of Pablo Baler’s trip to Bhutan with Filipino geologist Lola Fanguna in search of the miraculous Xingu potion, which some Buddhist monks used to achieve enlightenment. Alicia Michal Gascue, a Uruguayan artist from Bucharest, wrote: “Distant Disorientation (Journal of Happiness) This is undoubtedly the path of Pablo Baler’s life and, as befits all life, it is full of other journeys: the paths of his creativity, the paths of his metaphysical doubts, the paths of his characters, and above all, it is full of stories that no one knows about. . ever heard. These are paradoxical stories of a foreigner who struggles to overcome his condition as such, seeking revelation (perhaps Rebellion) in otherness.

Néstor Díaz de Villegas’ collection Les Immoralis Poems is the latest work of this neo-baroque poet who explored the formal possibilities of abstraction beyond any imaginative intention. As Ernesto Hernandez Bustos wrote in Journal of Hypermedia: “In this book of poems, in my opinion, the most perfect of its authors, an amazing variety of registers is found: philosophical poems, scripts, backdrops, cinematic comments, music, landscapes … But everything is united by some kind of gloomy atmosphere, philosophical, quantum baroque, aware that the best thought escapes in writing and that is why it becomes free, woven from the non-existence of oblivion.
Diaz de Villegas published several collections of poems collected in Language search (2015). He was the founder cubist magazine (2004-2006). His latest book Where the Worms Come From: A Chronicle of a Return to Cuba After 37 Years of Exile (2019), published by Vintage Español.
