Description
Manifesto on Beauty
Book Summary
A lyrical ode that transcends the tangible to explore the essence of beauty as a vital experience. In this work, the author invites the reader on a poetic flight over the light of those who sleep and the gaze of those who remain awake, unfolding a reflection on transience, memory, and redemption. Through images that resurrect blue cities and blur the lines between wakefulness and dreaming, this manifesto becomes a celebration of the word as the only compass in the face of the inexplicable.
What is it about?
The poetry collection stands as a manifesto in verse that investigates the nature of beauty from an intimate and contemplative perspective. The work unfolds like a sustained flight: the poet flies simply to fly, suspended over the light of those who rest and before the gaze of those who remain awake. In that transit, the author reconstructs dreamlike landscapes—blue cities where the dead are resurrected—and weaves a reflection on the fragility of existence and the capacity of poetry to capture moments of plenitude. The original synopsis develops in a tone that combines lyrical density with the clarity of a declaration of aesthetic principles.

Editorial Review
A poetry collection that stands out for its internal coherence and its ability to sustain a lyrical atmosphere without compromise. The paperback format makes it accessible to carry and reread, while its contained length (94 pages) allows for concentrated reading. Recommended for those who seek poetry that does not limit itself to describing, but rather constructs its own world where beauty manifests as an act and not as a concept.
