Description
Annunciation
Book Summary
A poetic inquiry into the experience of absolute love, where the self dissolves in the presence of the other. Javier Lostalé constructs an interior landscape of light and silence, exploring the paradox of a freedom born from total surrender. This brief yet intense collection of poems invites the reader to delve into the mystery of union, where identity fades away to be reborn in a new form of existence.
What is it about?
Annunciation is a journey to the center of the amorous experience understood as radical transformation. The collection is articulated around the question of the nature of the one who loves: a being invaded by a presence that inhabits them completely. Lostalé explores the dissolution of the self into the other, the loss of one's own name, and the paradox of a captivity that is experienced as fullness. The work unfolds through images of light, pulse, and breath, creating an atmosphere of introspection where time and space are suspended. It is poetry that does not narrate a story, but rather captures a state of consciousness, an instant of revelation where love manifests as a force that redefines existence.

Editorial Review
Annunciation is an example of essential and refined poetry, where every word is measured with precision. Javier Lostalé succeeds in creating a lyrical space of great intensity, approaching love from an almost mystical perspective. Its brevity is not a defect, but a virtue that concentrates emotion and reflection. A work that will connect with readers looking for poetry that challenges and moves them through subtlety and depth.
