There are many reasons that lead us to read Benedetti. Perhaps the main one is precisely this: that the poet has become the voice of his own people.»\u003cbr\u003eJosé Saramago\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e«An author who speaks to us of love, power and commitment in the most direct and passionate way possible.»\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorld Literature Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e«Benedetti in Italian means \"blessed\".
