Poetic Obituaries: The author [Mario Rivero] burst onto

the Colombian literary scene in 1966 with "Poemas Urbanas" (Urban Poems), a title covering the most ordinary everyday experiences he used to spark the country's urban poetry trend that was just in its beginnings.

This volume of verse was followed by another 13 volumes, including two anthologies and a long interview, which Rivero published in the course of his literary career right up to his final work, "Balada de la Gran Señora" (Ballad of the Great Lady), in 2004.
