Far from conventional publishing, the author has memorized, recited, and shouted these verses as a form of resistance and self-knowledge. The work moves between poetry as a storm and the academic language that provides a livelihood, offering the reader poems that compel us to think seriously about what to do with who we are and what has been done to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book collects the poetic output of a university professor of working-class origin who uses writing to modulate a language that belongs to her. The poems address the tension between the writings that secure a paycheck and those that unleash an inner storm. The author explores class memory, family care, institutional violence, and the revolutionary potential of affection. Verses that speak of hurricanes in the living room, of demons shared with a dog's gaze, of pills that steal years of life from a mother, and of caresses that, when given knowingly, have transformative power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePoetry as a tool for resistance and self-knowledge against the impositions of the labor and intellectual market.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eClass memory and identity of origin within the context of academia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFamily care and the critique of the healthcare and pharmacological system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe revolutionary potential of affection and intimacy as spaces of freedom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWriting as a necessary storm to illuminate what remains hidden.\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 committed to social and political issues, especially those seeking a female voice that reflects on class, origin, and academia.

Martínez Fernández demonstrates that poetry does not need to be published to be true; it is enough to be spoken, recited, or shouted. The book connects with a current of contemporary poetry that focuses on the peripheries, both geographical and social, and understands the poem as an act of resistance. For the reader interested in poetry with class consciousness and real commitment, this is an essential title.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LA OVEJA ROJA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53406753063259,"sku":"9788416227785","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841622778.jpg?v=1781840235","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788416227785","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
