What is it about?
Affections is a collection of poems that starts from the observation of daily life to delve into the deeper layers of human experience. Gabriel Guasch weaves a reflection on how the small details of day-to-day life—a gesture, a landscape, a memory—become gateways to universal questions such as the passage of time, loss, and collective identity. The book does not shy away from the country's social and political reality, but rather incorporates it as another element of the poet's emotional fabric, offering a voice that is both personal and collective. With a refined and evocative style, the author invites the reader to pause, to feel, and to recognize themselves in the affections that unite us.
