Description
Marida
Book Summary
Marida is an intimate celebration of love that poet Alberto Escabias Ampuero places within the remote landscapes and times of Córdoba. Divided into two parts, the collection of poems travels along paths marked by dates that wound and heal, weaving a song where words sprout from the earth. With a language that evokes laments and folk songs, the author presses the clusters of the truest love, leaving a poetic footprint that pairs emotion and tradition in every verse.
What is it about?
The work is structured in a binary division that traces two fundamental axes: the traveled paths of Córdoba and the dates that mark the experience of love. Through these journeys, the poet explores a love that leaves its mark with every step, combining the strength of the land with a lyrical language that draws from popular laments and songs. Marida is, in essence, a song to the living word born from the lip of the earth, where love becomes a journey that unites the intimate with the universal.
