Description
IN THIS PLACE
Book Summary
Unai Velasco bursts onto the poetic scene with a work that combines social criticism with a lucid, contemporary perspective. "In This Place" is a collection of poems built on irony and the avant-garde, engaging in a dialogue with literary tradition, pop culture, and immediate reality. A book that invites us to rethink the poetic space as a meeting point between critical consciousness and formal experimentation, offering the reader a unique aesthetic and reflective experience.
What is it about?
The poetry collection is structured around the exploration of specific spaces that define our experience: the dialogue with the work of other authors, the awareness of the reality surrounding us, and the poetic reaction to it. Velasco weaves a network of references ranging from classical and contemporary literature to video games and screens, creating a territory where the highbrow and the popular merge. Irony becomes a tool for dismantling established discourses, while formal experimentation brings freshness and originality to a poetry that does not renounce critical depth.

Editorial review
"In This Place" presents itself as a work that more than meets the expectations generated by the recognition of the jury that highlighted it. Unai Velasco demonstrates a remarkable mastery of poetic language and an ability to integrate diverse references without losing coherence or depth. The brevity of the collection (54 pages) does not diminish the intensity of its proposal, but rather concentrates it, offering a compact and suggestive read. It is, without a doubt, a work that deserves the attention of those seeking poetry committed to its time and open to experimentation.
