Description
Cemetery Poetry and Other Heartbreaks
Book Summary
In this debut collection of poetry, Albert Salmerón Cojo unfolds a lyrical universe where intimacy meets the spectral. The reader will discover a work presented in two versions, revealing the multiple facets of an author who moves between light and shadow, between love and heartbreak, with a voice as personal as it is universal. A brief but intense collection of poems that invites exploration of the deepest corners of human feeling.
What is it about?
Cemetery Poetry and Other Heartbreaks is a book that delves into the territories of heartbreak and melancholy from a dual perspective. The author structures the work in two complementary versions, offering the reader a poetic experience that oscillates between the intimate and the phantasmagorical. Throughout its 60 pages, the poems explore the fragility of human relationships, the weight of absence, and the beauty that can be found in the spaces of transition between life and memory. The image of the cemetery functions as a central metaphor, not only as a physical place but as an emotional state where lost loves and the wounds of the past rest.
Main themes
- Heartbreak and loss as transformative experiences

Editorial review
Cemetery Poetry and Other Heartbreaks represents an interesting proposal within contemporary poetry in Spanish. Albert Salmerón Cojo succeeds in constructing a coherent and personal lyrical universe, where the brevity of the format does not limit the depth of the content. The decision to present the collection in two versions provides added value that invites re-reading and reflection on how the same poetic material can be perceived from different angles. It is a work that, without grandiloquent pretensions, fulfills its goal of connecting with the reader through emotion and poetic honesty.
