BOOK OF STUTTERING
Book Summary

Each poem is configured as an act of resistance and rewriting of the legacy received, demonstrating that it is possible to build deeply human poetry out of fracture.
What is it about?
Byron Ramírez constructs a collection of poems that emerges from the need to name the world from a tongue crossed by dysphemia. The figure of the father acts as the central axis of family trauma, while inherited silences become poetic material. In dialogue with the tradition embodied by Alejandra Pizarnik, writing is conceived as a tension between speaking and remaining silent. Each poem does not seek to suppress guilt, but to incorporate it as a key to lyrical activity, transforming the personal into a shared reality that moves between pain and beauty.
