Carlos Aurtenetxe constructs a long poem where the pain of the world and the beauty of the resilient grass face off in a lyrical contest. The reader will find a profound exploration of the human condition, where the tragedy of understanding becomes the axis of a writing style that seeks to speak of the world, knowing full well that nothing can be done against it except to name it. A book that leaves no room for indifference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is articulated around the tension between the horror and the beauty emanating from a sky that ravages everything and the grass that, from the depths of the earth, pushes and resists. The author establishes a singular combat between his gaze and the celestial vault, a struggle from which the dream of matter emerges. In that confrontation, the gaze transcends the sky and the tear transcends the sea, giving shape to a tragedy of understanding. The book delves into the secret of that secret: the notion that the first and last pain of the world is nothing but the human being we are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe contest between the human gaze and the immensity of the sky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe pain of the world as a foundational experience of existence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe resistance of nature, symbolized by the grass that persists.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe capacity of language to name and confront reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe tragic condition of the human being in the face of their own finitude.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers of contemporary poetry with an interest in long-form works and high lyrical density.
