Description
Commuter Diary
Book Summary
Rafa Mora offers us a collection of poems that travels along two complementary paths. In the first, poetry is placed at the center through brief pieces loaded with humor, irony, and wordplay. In the second, a poet emerges who struggles to understand and dignify the world, using the word as a tool of hope. A literary journey that combines playful reflection with humanistic depth.
What is it about?
The book is structured into two distinct parts. The first section unfolds a series of brief compositions where the author uses devices such as wordplay, thematic decalogues, and poetic allusions to explore the surface and depth of everyday experience. The second part shows a committed poet who seeks to redeem the world through poetry, affirming his own voice and his faith in the transformative capacity of the word.
