Overview
- Across poetry, the roundup singles out Bethoven Medina Sánchez’s Children’s Poetry of La Libertad as essential and highlights works by Paúl Orlando Vera Basilio, Gloria Portugal, and Alberto Alarcón, with critic Carlos Santa María praising Alarcón’s craftsmanship.
- It notes children’s and short fiction by Jorge Barboza Beingolea for confronting fear with humor, Gloria Portugal’s Pequeñas historias for quiet critical delicacy, and Enrique Carbajal’s La sombra y otros cuentos for an oral, collective voice.
- The anthology Once Liberteño is described as a solid, plural, and mature selection that underpins the claim that La Libertad writes with solvency.
- Mario Luciano Moreno Roldán’s novel Felipe Felipe is commended for stylistic command and a child’s quest at its core, with editor Carlos Santa María’s appraisal and visual design by Oscar Alarcón Prieto emphasized.
- Ángel Napoleón Gavidia Ruiz’s essay Vallejo a solas is presented as a testimonial meditation on identity and reading, with Sánchez Lihón noting its honest, exploratory method, and the piece closes by urging readers and institutions to circulate these titles.
