Description
It was only the fog
Book Summary
A collection of short poems that explore everyday intimacy with a deceptively apparent simplicity. The author constructs lyrical pieces devoid of grandiloquence, where daily banality becomes poetic material. Each poem oscillates between revealing confession and the suspicion of deceit, inviting the reader to question the veracity of the lyrical discourse. A work that demonstrates how poetry can arise from the most trivial things, revealing the complexity hidden behind the gentle surface of words.
What is it about?
Era només la boira brings together about thirty short poems that start from intimate everyday life and the small daily miseries. The poet works with the fungible pain of the domestic, stripping the verses of any transcendent pretension. The work plays with the duality between the gentle appearance of the poems and their potential deception: what seems like a sincere confession can hide a calculated lie, and the sweetness of the verses acts as a trap for the reader. The book explores how poetry can be both a means of authentic expression and an instrument of rhetorical seduction.
