With Eyes Tightly Shut
Book Summary
A poetic work born from the intimate gesture of closing one's eyes and looking inward. Mónica Gabriel y Galán Hernández constructs a collection of poems sustained by rebellion and introspection, where each verse is a testament to an inner vision. The reader will find a collection of poems that transit between personal experience and universal reflection, offering a lyrical voice that defies conventions from a genuine and profound perspective.
What is it about?
This book arises from the conscious decision to close one's eyes tightly, without tricks, to explore what happens in that inner space.

The poems traverse a territory where looking inward becomes an act of resistance and discovery, revealing images and emotions that can only be seen when one looks away from the outside world.
