Juana Dolores Romero Casanova, a performing artist and poet, constructs a work where class struggle, glitter, and lyrical violence intertwine in a dialectic of oxymorons. This bilingual edition, translated into Spanish by the author herself, allows the reader to immerse themselves in a unique poetic universe, where exacerbated rhymes and suburban lexicon collide with classical turns of phrase, offering a literary experience that is both a jewel and a wound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection is presented as a chain of vertebrae-jewels, a circulatory system where seemingly opposite facets coincide: blood and rubies, gold and mud, crucifixion and prostitution. Through poetry that transitions between violence and softness, the author explores the condition of a lumpen-proletarian class, using costume jewelry as a metaphor for the residual and the brilliant. The poems, written from a heart that is at once in love, hysterical, happy, and afraid, address contradiction as a form of resistance, offering the other cheek and the neck for love, but also for capital love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe dialectic of the oxymoron as a way of assuming and celebrating contradiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eClass struggle from a lyrical and subversive perspective, with a mix of suburban lexicon and highbrow terminology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIdentity as a fragmentary construction, caught between migrant heritage and contemporary culture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eViolence and tenderness as forces that traverse the lyrical body, in a play of opposites that do not exclude one another.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCostume jewelry as a symbol of the residual and the valuable, of the artificial and the authentic in the class experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary poetry that breaks the mold, and at those who seek a voice that engages with politics, identity, and language from a radical and uncompromising perspective.

Juana Dolores Romero Casanova demonstrates a command of language that oscillates between the classical and the marginal, creating a work that is at once a jewel and rubble. Her ability to articulate contradiction as a form of affirmation, rather than paralysis, makes her a necessary voice within contemporary poetry in Spanish. Ideal for those seeking a reading that discomforts, moves, and challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EDICIONES LA UÑA ROTA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407428313435,"sku":"9788418782749","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841878274.jpg?v=1781855499","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788418782749","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
