I’m delighted to share that Pablo Saborío’s forthcoming poetry collection, A Thing for Nothingness, has received a five-star, ‘must read’ review on Reedsy Discovery. Here are a selection of quotes from reviewer, Stephen Dudas:
“Elegant, philosophical, and breathtakingly lyrical, Pablo Saborío’s A Thing For Nothingness is the kind of collection that poets of his generation aspire to. But Saborío has actually succeeded in the challenging work of bringing together compelling central concerns and questions with masterful execution of the verse.”
“In the poem “Epilogue to Poetics,” Saborío writes one of the most succinct essays on poetry in recent memory. He articulates poetry’s work of “distillation” and its tension with and friction against the very language used to make it. G.K. Chesterton would delight in the consciousness of paradoxes here (but it is also clear that Saborío’s preoccupation with them surpasses Chesterton’s in complexity).”
“Whether intentional or not, Saborío has managed to deliver a book that shows its reader both beautiful poetry and a vision of how poetic thinking works. Poets, especially, will find Saborío’s work validating and exciting, if sometimes also envy-inducing (it’s that good).”
You can read the full review on the Reedsy website. A Thing for Nothingness will be published by EIF on 5th September 2026. You can pre-order the paperback from Barnesandnoble.com and Waterstones.com. The Kindle version is availble for pre-order from Amazon.com. Stay tuned for the launch this time next week!
