Starting from the village of Soo, in Lanzarote, as a symbolic center of the world, the work builds an intimate dialogue between generations, where family conversations, everyday objects, and cultural references become vehicles for inquiring into who we are and how we transform. This book, winner of the 1st Ana Santos Payán Prize, challenges the limits of the poetic genre by expanding between orality, babble, and cultured citation, offering a rich, hybrid, and deeply moving reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoo is a collection of poems born from the conversations between Mom and Au, where the grandmother appears as an empty body on stage and the grandfather is no longer her husband. In this lyrical universe, alien hands, plants that look like small cheeses, and houses that serve to live, work, or survive coexist. Names like María, Julia, Dolores, Delfina, Carmen, and Candelaria populate its pages, along with everyday images like the little toes of the virgin, bread in broth, and flies on the wall. The work includes poems, babbles, a reggaeton for Marianne Moore, and a quote from the American poet that questions gender and life plans. Through this collage, Juli Mesa poses fundamental questions about identity, error, and poetry itself, weaving a network of meanings that connect the personal with the universal, the rural with the literary, and memory with the language that allows us to name or flee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFamily memory and intergenerational transmission: the relationship with grandparents and ancestors as a structural axis of identity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIdentity and transformation: how we become who we are through the bond with others and with the place of origin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage and orality: the use of a unique, colloquial, and expanded language that takes shape in conversation and babble.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe everyday as poetic: the reclamation of domestic objects, gestures, and spaces as lyrical matter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDialogue with poetic tradition: references to Marianne Moore and Latin American poetry as a framework for creation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers of contemporary poetry interested in proposals that break with the traditional molds of the genre.
