Mundos de la madrugada, published in 1943 by the publishing house Losada in the collection "Poetas de España", is one of the most significant early works of Ricardo Eufemio Molinari (Buenos Aires, 1898-1996). This volume is part of a stage of consolidation of his poetic voice, characterized by an introspective sensibility and a marked inclination towards the contemplation of time, nature and states of consciousness.
The title already suggests the symbolic universe of the book: the dawn as a liminal space between night and light, between the dreamlike and the real, where the poetic experience is charged with silence, waiting and revelation. Within this framework, Molinari constructs a poetry of serene and meditative tone, in which the images unfold with delicacy, privileging suggestion over direct affirmation.
Belonging to the collection "Poetas de España" places the work in a publishing context of great relevance in the Latin American sphere, especially because of Losada's role in the diffusion of poetry in the Spanish language during the 20th century. This edition thus contributes to the consolidation of Molinari as one of the outstanding voices of Argentine poetry, linked to a poetic tradition of symbolic and reflexive style.
As a whole, Mundos de la madrugada represents a poetry of intimate and contemplative atmosphere, where language becomes a vehicle for inner exploration and the dawn functions as a metaphor of the threshold between sensitive perception and spiritual experience.
