The death of the poet Francisco Massiani is a pity. There are writers so dear, so close, that one would like to have them always there, to know that they accompany us, even if we don't see them often.
With "Pancho" Massiani, as he was nicknamed, it goes like with Rulfo: with his novel Piedra de mar and his short story "Un regalo para Julia" he went on to the history of literature, not by mere convention, but because the readers confirmed it that way.
Massiani managed to make literature speak directly to that difficult audience, the teenager or the young person, with a simple but very sensitive language, with the reflective force of life. That is why he is loved and will be read for a long time.
Cheers for the poet! Thank you for so beautiful and sense post, @nancybriti.
