Description
To the Rhythm of My Emotions
Book Summary
In To the Rhythm of My Emotions, Bogotano poet Rafael Vásquez Cuéllar offers his sixth lyrical installment, a work that combines emotional introspection with narrative poetry of a classical style. Through sonnets and traditional forms, the author invites the reader to explore universal feelings and share personal experiences. This collection of poems not only delves into the poet's vital concerns but also describes places and experiences with a descriptive and evocative gaze, consolidating a literary career that began in 2007.
What is it about?
The poetry collection is structured around two main axes. On one hand, it maintains the author's usual line, addressing emotions and reflections on life, love, loneliness, or hope. On the other hand, it incorporates a prominent section of narrative poetry, where Vásquez Cuéllar uses the sonnet as a vehicle to describe settings, journeys, and specific moments, giving the work a more descriptive and testimonial character. The collection seeks to exemplify how emotions can be expressed and shared through meter and rhyme, offering the reader a poetic journey that travels from the most intimate sentiment to the observation of the outside world.
