Vera Moreno turns aimless daily walks into a lyrical experience where the landscape, movement, and the presence of a small Westie dog guide the rhythm of the verse. This book invites the reader to pause, to look with new eyes, and to discover the poetry that dwells in the small gestures of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection of poems is built from the author's daily walks through the forest, a practice inspired by the Japanese Shinrin-Yoku. With no fixed route or prior objective, the verses follow the steps and pauses of a small Westie during its first year of life. The gaze becomes the primary instrument: the eye, the ear, and the touch are what truly remain in the poem. The work is, in essence, a sensitive record of the connection between the human being, the animal, and the natural environment, where each walk is transformed into an opportunity for writing and contemplation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe practice of Shinrin-Yoku or forest bathing as a method of observation and writing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between the human being and nature through the daily walk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe affective and poetic bond with a pet, the Westie, as a guide for the journey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMindfulness of the senses: sight, hearing, and touch as generators of the poem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePoetry as a record of the moment and of the experience lived without a predetermined goal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor readers interested in contemporary poetry that seeks its main source of inspiration in nature.
