[edit] Biography
Véner was born in San Jose, Costa Rica, where he attended psychology school and where he got the degree, but in 1997 abandoned his career to travel throughout Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, and other Asian countries as well as Mexico and Central America. Is during these trips that he found his inspiration to start his very first poetry book.
Later, he return to Costa Rica, where he started the establishment of several literary links all over Latin-American, being one of the most successful of them the literary interchange with the Mexican novelist and poet Carlos Mendez Villalobos. Later he started his latest trip to the orient, this time with the intention to reside in Japan, country in which he has found a rich source of inspiration.
[edit] Works
In 1998 he started his first work, the spanish poetry book “Virtudes Escondidas”, a 156 page paperback published in 2003, with a recompilation of the most expressive poems written during one year and a half of constant exploration of his self existence.
His second poetry work published in 2004, a collection named “Pesares Cotidianos” emerged as his most significant approach to his final literary style, based on the immensity of the universal solitude.
Vener in his third and last published work “Resurrecciones” maintained the same style reached in his second book, but for this work a reinvention on the descriptive skills is easily noted, bringing by that, a representation of maturity and self-criticism.
