Antonio Crespo Massieu (Madrid, 1951)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Where does my poetry come from, or \u201cfrom when the bird, the light\/ from when the <\/i>hunter, the dark silence?\u201d Unanswered questions. And the poet attempting to read the <\/i>world, to find an alphabet to articulate something of its mystery, to rescue a glimmer. <\/i>To bear witness. To speak truth and beauty.<\/i><\/p>\n
Formulating these questions is the opportunity offered to me by the generosity of Rafael <\/i>Soler and Caf\u00e9 Comercial. I summarize here the details and dates of my journey through <\/i>poetry.<\/i><\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"an-encounter-with-antonio-crespo-massieu-an-approach-to-his-work-and-poetics","image":{"url":"https:\/\/cafecomercialmadrid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3.jpg","id":3004,"extension":"jpg","width":491,"height":481,"filesize":23530,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":294,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":12696,"url":"https:\/\/cafecomercialmadrid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3-300x294.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":4486,"url":"https:\/\/cafecomercialmadrid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/3-150x150.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-02-03 19:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"02","day":"03","hour":"19","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-02-03 20:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"02","day":"03","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2026-02-03 18:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"02","day":"03","hour":"18","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-02-03 19:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"02","day":"03","hour":"19","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"Europe\/Madrid","timezone_abbr":"CET","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"","values":[]},"website":"https:\/\/cafecomercialmadrid.com\/en\/evento\/an-encounter-with-antonio-crespo-massieu-an-approach-to-his-work-and-poetics\/","show_map":false,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Literary Mondays","slug":"literary-mondays","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":30,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":17,"filter":"raw","id":30,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/cafecomercialmadrid.com\/en\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/30","collection":"https:\/\/cafecomercialmadrid.com\/en\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":657,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2025-04-11 09:55:13","date_utc":"2025-04-11 07:55:13","modified":"2025-05-22 12:53:48","modified_utc":"2025-05-22 10:53:48","url":"https:\/\/cafecomercialmadrid.com\/venue\/cafe-comercial\/","venue":"Caf\u00e9 Comercial","slug":"cafe-comercial","address":"Glorieta de Bilbao, 7 - Madrid","city":"Madrid","country":"Spain","province":"Madrid","zip":"28004","phone":"910 882 525","website":"https:\/\/cafecomercialmadrid.com\/","stateprovince":"Madrid","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Caf\u00e9 Comercial","description":"","url":"https:\/\/cafecomercialmadrid.com\/venue\/cafe-comercial\/","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"Glorieta de Bilbao, 7 - Madrid","addressLocality":"Madrid","addressRegion":"Madrid","postalCode":"28004","addressCountry":"Spain"},"telephone":"910 882 525","sameAs":"https:\/\/cafecomercialmadrid.com\/"},"show_map":false,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"cafecomercialmadrid.com\/en\/?id=657","global_id_lineage":["cafecomercialmadrid.com\/en\/?id=657"]},"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"An Encounter with Antonio Crespo Massieu.
