reception

In 1927 Molinari made his debut with El imaginero . He was close to the literary avant-garde of the Martín Fierro magazine but without actually belonging to it. Because of his friendship with Jorge Luis Borges , Oliverio Girondo and Leopoldo Marechal , he was also close to Grupo Florida , but was also not a member.

Molinari's oeuvre is characterized by its calm. Molinari is neither polemically political nor does he favor any theories. Nor does he take part in the literary conflict between traditionalism and avant-garde. His poetry is characterized by the creative use of language. According to his own admission, Molinari was also repeatedly inspired by the Spanish literature of the 16th and 17th centuries.

The first editions of almost all of his works are perfectly edited private prints, which have been distributed to friends in extremely small numbers. Later editions were taken over by publishers and immediately found a large audience.
