To whom I do not know
Book summary
A collection of poems born from the need to find meaning in the ephemeral and to express what dwells within. Celia Gracia Castany invites the reader to an intimate reflection on love, death, and the act of writing as a resistance to daily disappearance. Each verse is an effort to give shape to an emotion and share it, seeking to have those words transcend their own time and resonate in those who read them. A brief but intense work, ideal for those seeking sincere, unadorned poetry.
What is it about?
The work delves into essential questions about the meaning of creating and loving that which inevitably fades away. Through her poems, the author explores the tension between the fleeting nature of life and the desire for permanence that drives writing. It is not complacent poetry, but an honest dialogue with the reader about daily death, oblivion, and the effort to say something that has weight. It is a journey from the initial doubt—"why love the inevitable?"—to the acceptance that the value of the poem lies in its ability to be shared, to exist beyond the author.
