Written by a man and a woman, this book was born from a poetic epistolary exchange that began in 2010. The authors decided to remove gender markers so that the reader encounters the poem without knowing if it was written by him or her, demonstrating that in the experience of love and sex, differences are diluted. A work that invites reflection on the universality of feelings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book gathers 50 short poems that emerged from a poetic dialogue between a man and a woman who met in January 2010. Both were going through complex personal moments when they began an exchange of verses that turned into a written love story. The poems, which initially aimed to be haikus, expanded to form this collection. The peculiarity of the book is that the authors hide their identity in each poem: it is not known whether a text was written by him or by her, forcing the reader to focus on the emotional and erotic content without gender prejudices. At the end of the volume, the authorship and original titles of each piece are revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLove as a shared and transformative experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSexual desire and physical intimacy as a common language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGender ambiguity in the poetic expression of affection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWriting as a bridge to connect two subjectivities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePoetic brevity as a way to capture intense moments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor readers of contemporary poetry interested in works that address love and eroticism from a dual perspective without labels.

The game of anonymous authorship within the poems is not a mere artifice, but responds to a deep conviction: that in love and sex, man and woman are equal. The poems are short, direct, and avoid rhetorical excess, making them accessible without losing intensity. The book may be of particular interest to those looking for contemporary poetry with a relational and gender focus, as well as readers who appreciate collaborative works where the creative process is part of the message.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PUNTO ROJO EDITORIAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53406896685403,"sku":"9788418503566","price":15.14,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841850356.jpg?v=1781843332","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788418503566","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
