Description
Verses in Strange Times
Book Summary
This collection of poems is an intimate journey through the emotions that surface in moments of uncertainty. The author, Nayade, weaves verses that oscillate between the caress of the moon and the cold of the void, exploring emotional survival in strange times. A work that does not seek to heal wounds, but to clothe them in poetry, offering the reader a mirror in which to recognize their own silent battles.
What is it about?
The book is presented as a manuscript born from the need to express what time cannot fully heal. Through a free poetic structure, the author addresses pain, melancholy, and loneliness, but also resilience and the beauty found in the darkest moments. The verses transit between the tenderness of caressing the moon and the harshness of plunging into a void of silences, reflecting an internal struggle to find meaning and survival in a context of strangeness and change. It is a collection of poems that invites introspection and the acceptance of complex emotions.

Editorial review
This is a sincere and contained poetic proposal that bets on the strength of imagery and emotion rather than formal experimentation. Its brevity (68 pages) makes it an accessible yet intense read. It is especially interesting for those looking for a female voice that does not shy away from vulnerability, but rather transforms it into the raw material of its writing. A book that, without stridency, manages to connect with the feelings of those who open it.
