This book is a poetic exploration of life, love, and death from a secular and serene perspective. The author—a jurist, playwright, and artist—offers a collection of verses born from his personal experience, his relationship with creativity, and his literary heritage linked to the Generation of '27. The reader will find an intimate, sincere, and reflective work, written with the maturity of someone who has made poetry a companion for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection of poems is structured around the duality between what remains alive and what fades away, both in love and in existence. Garrigues Walker starts from a conception of art as a capacity inherent to every human being, which balances personality and enriches life. Throughout the poems, the author reflects on his relationship with death, which becomes increasingly comfortable and positive, understood as a rest in the peace of human non-existence. However, this vision does not diminish the intensity of his present: the poet affirms that he will live the rest of his life to the fullest, remaining in love and active. The work is permeated with the influence of Federico García Lorca and other geniuses of the Residencia de Estudiantes, thanks to the legacy passed down by his father and the figure of Pepín Bello. It is, ultimately, a poetic testimony of a man who, at his age, debuts as a poet with both vertigo and sincerity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLove in its living and extinct forms, as the central experience of existence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDeath as a natural and comfortable process, from a secular and serene perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAmateur creativity as a universal capacity that provides harmony and balance to the personality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe literary heritage of the Generation of '27 and the figure of Lorca as a permanent influence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe vertigo of a poetic debut in maturity, between success and failure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary poetry of an intimate and reflective nature.
