Description:
The poet sees in archaeology a wind of struggle that plunges him into uncertainty. Nothing is real; not even the matter through which our bodies travel: roads, birds, paths...
Brief description: An internationally known Hispanic-American poet born in Argentina, Luis Alberto Ambroggio has resided in the Washington, DC area since 1967.

Review Quotes:
An individual who has, perhaps, made one of the most important contributions to Latin American poetry written in the United States.
La Gaceta Iberoamericana, Washington, DC.
His voice is wise and philosophical. It owns an inimitable cadence, uncommon good sense, and a smoldering depth-for there is fire in Ambroggio's blueness, an earthy eroticism in his lyric register.
