Accompanied by original illustrations by Esther Pérez-Cuadrado, this collection of poems delves into the essence of the human being and the ephemeral footprint we leave in the face of the multiplicity of reality that surrounds us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book starts from the premise of the House-Tree-Person projective test, a psychological tool that reveals aspects of personality through drawing. Gallardo translates that inquiry into poetic language to explore identity, sensory perception, and the fragility of existence. The poems do not merely describe, but seek to leave a record of being in the world, albeit with the full awareness that any attempt to fix the experience is provisional. The work is structured as a dialogue between word and image, where each illustration by Pérez-Cuadrado amplifies the meaning of the verses, creating a slow and reflective reading experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWriting as a tool for self-knowledge and communication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe sensitive contemplation of reality and the environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe ephemerality of existence and the human footprint in the world.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between poetic word and visual image.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIntrospection based on psychological projective techniques.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at readers of contemporary poetry interested in works that cross the boundaries between literature, psychology, and visual art.
