Juan Gossaín with Juan Gustavo Cobo Borda

The complete works of Luis Carlos López, the great Cartagena poet, have just been published. “El Tuerto (‘One-eyed’) López had the supernatural gift of contrast, of bringing together the sublime and the ordinary, without the result being discordant or any verses being degraded,” says the writer Juan Gossaín in his masterly essay. Juan Gossaín will talk about him to the poet and writer Juan Gustavo Cobo Borda.
