To Be the Autumn of the Wind
Book Summary
This work gathers eight poetry collections written between 1980 and 2005, where poetry becomes a bridge between human beings and the mysteries of existence. Jesús Díez Fernández offers a lyrical journey that spans from the questions of dawn to the shadows of dusk, passing through the sea and the deserts. The reader will find verses that seek to dialogue with the soul of life, light torches in the darkness, and stop time to make it eternal. A collection of over five hundred pages that invites reflection and self-knowledge.
What is it about?
The book compiles the author's poetic output over a quarter of a century, from 1980 to 2005. Each poem is born from the need to answer the essential questions posed by dawn and dusk, the sea and the deserts. Poetry acts as a knocker that the autumn wind uses to call to the poet, creating reality and generating knowledge through language. The verses journey from one echo to another, from one horizon to another, from one shadow to another, exploring love, pain, beauty, and the search for meaning. The act of writing is presented as an endless journey that stops time and transforms it into eternity.
