Books
Secret country
The poems are entertaining, and revealingly sincere; their harmonies and workmanship, beautiful. The stanzas are marvels of simplicity, yet marvels too of startling personal verbal melody. Their urgency and privacy and accuracies of expression result from their author's rare combination of earthy awareness and of cosmopolitan and highly sophisticated technique.
Antología poética
Adentrarse en la escritura poética de Efraín Jara Idrovo supone acceder al asombro, al descubrimiento de renovadas propuestas teóricas, temáticas; escenarios donde el hombre, más allá de mostrarse fascinado ante las evidencias del mundo, desacraliza la realidad, cuestiona el transcurrir del tiempo, admite la inequívoca presencia de la soledad, la nostalgia, la muerte y, desde estas reflexiones, propone la reconfiguración existencial que no sólo particulariza su obra, sino, que lo ubica como uno de los poetas ecuatorianos e hispanoamericanos más trascendentes de nuestro tiempo.
