Book summary
A poetic work that challenges the conventional structure of language and perception. Eddie J. Bermúdez constructs a lyrical universe where parentheses do not merely enclose words, but become symbols of what is about to break: the concept, the vision, the waiting. The reader will find verses that float in uncertainty, steps that levitate in the middle of the page, and poetry that transforms into an interior landscape lit by candles. A book that invites you to inhabit the space between what is said and what is left unsaid.
What is it about?
Eddie J. Bermúdez's poetry explores the limits of expression and perception through a structure filled with parentheses, dots, and silences. The parenthesis is presented as a polysemous element: a stack, two ears, a dissected moon, a detachable coat, the dream of water according to the fish. In this universe, words disappear when they know they are being watched and reappear transformed. Everything seems about to break, especially at dawn, when the solid is swept away by a dustpan. It is a work that plays with the fragility of the concept, the vision, and the waiting, creating an experience where the reader must let themselves be carried by the echo in the fog.
Main themes
- The fragility of language and perception.
- The parenthesis as a symbol of the unfinished and the suspended.
