Poe Cid, winner of the Cucalambé Award 2023

I had previously read something by Jorge García Prieto (Havana, Cuba, 1979), better known as Poe Cid. But I didn't have to read much to know myself before a complete poet. His thematic acuity, those metaphors coming from who knows where, the play on words- synesthesia- sane-fluid madness, so many things, reaffirmed to me that I was before an author of necessary research.
