Description

Fortuna del día/ Day's Fortune is Colombian poet Carlo Acevedo's debut poetry collection, and the winner of the 2018 "Arcipreste de Hita" prize. In three sections, Day's Fortune carries the reader into deep reflection through Acevedo's shimmering language, influenced by his Buddhist practice and continuing in the legacy of Latin American writers such as José Watanabe. Day's Fortune is organized into three sections, each formally distinct: "As the Rooster Crows" is composed of concise, lineated poems of one to three stanzas with the insight of proverbs. "How Sharp the Sky" is dedicated to haiku that hold the universe in a single moment, with a focus on the natural world, and "My Shadow Throbs" is made up of brief prose poems, in which everyday life takes on philosophical significance. Acevedo is a poet of depth, precision, and range, a strong new voice in contemporary Colombian poetry.
