Through lucid and evocative poetry, the author explores how the words of other insomniac poets become confused with her own, weaving a web of truths and fictions. This collection of poems is a reflection on the act of reading and writing, a hall of mirrors where the reader recognizes themselves in their own search for meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection is built around a nocturnal scene: the poet, far from sleep, sets out several books on the bedside table as if they were cocktails for an unquenchable thirst. With premeditation and malice, as if the night had no end, she reads for hours and ends up believing the words that other insomniacs invented for her. The work plays with the idea of dissimulation and the ability to commit literary sins, pulling blank and aseptic pages from her magic top hat. It is, in essence, the dream of every self-respecting reader: the possibility of inhabiting a space where reality and fiction merge into a single pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReading as an act of creation and seduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe blurred boundary between reality and fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eInsomnia as a state of lucidity and poetic creation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIntertextuality and dialogue with other poets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePleasure and lying as elements inherent to the literary experience.\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 of contemporary poetry who are looking for a reflective and suggestive work on the act of reading itself.
