Description
Hollow Poems
Book Summary
A collection of thirty-seven poems born from wonder at the everyday, when the gaze strays from the habitual and discovers a new angle, an unexpected coincidence, or a plane of light that was not foreseen. Far from seeking to convey a closed message, these poems invite the evocation of states of openness to experience. They are quick-reading pieces, conceived as molds or simple forms that function as shells, open and empty in the center of the paper, ready to be filled by the reader's sensitivity.
What is it about?
The work brings together brief poems that explore the capacity for surprise that resides in the everyday. Each poem acts as an empty space, a mold that does not impose a single meaning, but rather offers a simple form for the reader to project their own experience. The author dispenses with dense content or an explicit message to focus on the evocation of moods and fleeting perceptions. The tone is light and direct, seeking sensory openness rather than deep reflection, turning each poem into a shell waiting to be completed by the reader.
