Un encanto extraño

Studies letters sent by Colombian poet to famed Mexican writer Carlos Pellicer (1897-1977). Unfortunately, Pardo did not keep letters Pellicer wrote to him, however Pardo's missives suggest amorous relationship between two men. Attests to what Pardo García called "perfect and unique" friendship between two men as well as seeds of much of Pardo García's own poetry. Includes 2013 essay by León Guillermo Gutiérrez on Pellicer's poem "Recinto" as "first homoerotic poem in Mexican poetry."
