With a lyrical voice torn between hospital and domestic confinement, the author constructs a sequence of original images that update the trope of Eros and Thanatos. This collection of poems is situated within the tradition of female writing on suffering, offering a raw and sincere look at the impossibility of finding relief—neither in feelings nor in medication—and the constant temptation of death as an escape route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection is structured around the experience of a female poetic voice that has lost the love that, in the author's previous works, served as salvation from madness. The book proposes a journey through inner suffering, where the fire of emotion burns from within without medication providing solace. The protagonist finds herself trapped in confined spaces—the hospital or the home—submerged in an emotional paralysis that leaves her unable to react. This situation leads her to reflect on death, presented as a surprising and modern variation of the classic link between Eros and Thanatos. Through disturbing and original images, Rosa Silverio gives form to the pain of a woman dealing with loss and helplessness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLost love as a trigger for psychological suffering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMental illness and the ineffectiveness of pharmacological treatment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhysical and emotional confinement, both in the domestic and hospital spheres.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDeath as a horizon of thought and a variation of the Eros and Thanatos trope.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFemale writing of pain and the poetic tradition of authors who have addressed the subject.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers of contemporary poetry interested in the exploration of female subjectivity and emotional suffering.
