Synopsis

This book of poems reflects the author’s sensitivity to the analog past of the 20th century, the longing for childhood in the streets, and the cultural component of Colombian identity. It contributes to making it an original work, the construction of prose poems, with a powerful cultural heritage and with a narrative that invites the reader to reflect and transcend their human condition. The poems, although they generate deep pain in the reader, invite action to defend, fight, repudiate, and become outraged. Some of them reflect in a hermetic and secretive way (as every good poem does) a social cry and outcry of denunciation, complaint, and dissatisfaction.
