I...Hesnor Rivera (Maracaibo, Venezuela, 1928-2000). In the mid-fifties founded the literary group Apocalipsis. Close friend of Juan Sánchez Peláez, who provided him w/ contacts among the poets of the Mandrágora group in Santiago, Chile, where Rivera lived during 1950-1952. Also spent time in Paris in the late 50s. He worked for many years as a journalist in Maracaibo. His books are very difficult to find in Venezuela these days. Along w/ Sánchez Peláez, he's one of the few authentic Venezuelan surrealists. The writer Norberto José Olivar has just published an excellent novel based on his life & legend, Cadáver exquisito (Alfaguara, 2010).Guillermo Parrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383940105241352465noreply@blogger.com
