This book brings together a collection of the most celebrated poems by Mario Benedetti, a poet who has achieved what only a handful of others have accomplished-an unbreakable bond and a source of inspiration for its readers. For all those who remember these works, many have become part of their life memories-whispered on a loved one's ear, quoted when declaring the love felt for that special person, or used as the inspiration when creating a love sonnet-others have become songs or even graffiti.
