Blasphemies of the flute

“One of the sharpest poets in the past few years, it figures, without any doubt, that José Alejandro Peña is a substantial and mature voice that provokes astonishment. Owner of a novel speech, entirely elaborated with a firm vocation of transcendence.” José Rafael Lantigua Ultima Hora Last Hour, Saturday 4 of Julio 1992 *** "When reading the complete works of Peña, … be aware that the poet has a proposal to make, which is, to reconstruct, under an implacable irony, a world of poetic difference.... through his concise use of the language in the book Blasphemies of the Flute, the poet José Alejandro Peña rises to the vanguard of the Generation 80 group.” Roger Reynoso and Diógenes Céspedes Cultura, El Siglo, Culture, The Century, June 10, 2000
