As part of the closing ceremony of the International Poetry Book Fair Expoesia 2024, held in the spaces of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies Rómulo Gallegos (CELARG) in Caracas, this Sunday, it was announced that the work entitled Burn by the Chilean writer Amanda Durán was the winner of the prize of the VI Juan Beroes International Poetry Biennial.
The information was released by the poet and jury, Ruiz Tirado, who indicated that “the work stood out for being a sequentially urban and unitary book that sings and projects with height and wave, a feminine, maternal and nurturing self, radically critical of our own and sexist, patriarchal, subjecting mother, daughter and grandmother to domestic and gender violence”.
The VI Juan Beroes International Poetry Biennial aims to honor the memory and work of one of the most outstanding poets of the generation of 40, such as the poet Juan Beroes from Tachira, who is recognized for initiating a revolution in the semantic style in Venezuelan poetry after reacting against excesses in the literary avant-garde.
