DARK CELESTIAL ANIMAL
Book summary
A collection of verses that defy the waking state to enter a poetic territory of exceptional intensity. Beñat Arginzoniz weaves a unique symbolic universe, dark and brilliant, where the word becomes a strange flower. This poetry collection, with a prologue by José Fernández de la Sota, invites a reading experience that transcends the rational, connecting with the deepest roots of emotion and imagination. A work for those who seek poetry that illuminates from the shadows.
What is it about?
The book is presented as an exploration of a "botany of rare flowers," poetry born from an altered state of consciousness, neither fully asleep nor completely awake. The verses of Dark Celestial Animal move on that threshold, creating images and associations that escape conventional logic.

Editorial review
Dark Celestial Animal is a poetic proposal of great depth that leaves no one indifferent. Beñat Arginzoniz's work is distinguished by its ability to generate a dense and evocative atmosphere, far removed from more descriptive poetry. Its main value lies in the coherence of its symbolic universe and the power of its images, which refer to a top-tier literary tradition. It is, without a doubt, a recommended read for those readers looking for an intense and transformative poetic experience that challenges their habitual perception of reality.
