Dictionary of Literary Biography on Manuel del Cabral

Manuel del Cabral is known not only in Latin America but also throughout the world as a poet of exceptional quality who addresses the concerns of his compatriots and the social inequities of the world. As Cabral states at the beginning of his autobiography, Historia de mi voz (History of My Voice, 1964), "El hombre se debate entre dos abismos: el micro y el macro. No conoce ni la profundidad del espacio infinito ni la inmensidad del interior del átomo. Pero entre esos dos abismos puede el hombre escribir su historia, su terrestre testimonio como huésped de esta gota cósmica, que aún da vueltas como otros mundos, movidos sin duda por un supremo pensamiento" (Man balances between two abysses: the micro and the macro. He knows neither the depth of infinite space nor the immensity of the interior of the atom. But between these two abysses man can write his story, his earthly testimony as a guest on this cosmic drop, that still twirls like other worlds, moved without a doubt by a supreme thought).
