Durado is the poet of the ordinary, the commonplace. Even the most tragis of events become everyday in his voice. But this voice is luminous with the poet’s tenderness and humanity, as if to say. Reality is enough, it should be enough. The hard core of his poetry is the solidity of the real, spoken in the tough, blunt speeches of plain folk telling their truth.
