Through sixteen poems, Inés María Guzmán constructs a dramatic monologue where memories, emotions, and figures from the past become raw material for understanding and accepting oneself. Drawing on her experience as an actress, the author gives voice and body to those nostalgic moments in which, symbolically, life is \"ground\" to extract its deepest essence. A poetry collection that turns introspection into an almost ritualistic act.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection of poems is structured around the concept of \"grinding time,\" a moment of pause and withdrawal in which the author processes her own life story. The sixteen poems function as a dramatic monologue, a resource that leverages Guzmán’s acting background to give voice to the characters and episodes that have marked her trajectory. The repetition of the title throughout the book underscores the need to stop, to \"grind\" memories, and to settle accounts with the past in order to finally achieve a deeper understanding of oneself. It is a work that explores memory, nostalgia, and acceptance through a poetic and theatrical lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMemory as raw material for the construction of identity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe passage of time and nostalgia as triggers for reflection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIntrospection and self-examination as paths to personal acceptance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe dramatic monologue as a lyrical tool to give voice to the past.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe ritualization of the everyday through the metaphor of grinding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor readers of contemporary poetry looking for an intimate and reflective work with a strong autobiographical and theatrical component.

The author manages to create an atmosphere of withdrawal and nostalgia without falling into sentimentality, relying on a dramatic structure that gives corporeality to memories. It is a book that, despite its brevity, invites a slow reading and re-reading, offering layers of meaning that reveal themselves with each new approach. A recommended work for those seeking quality, personal poetry with a distinct and recognizable voice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EL TORO CELESTE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53406796153179,"sku":"9788412680515","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841268051.jpg?v=1781841466","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788412680515","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
