Description
A Little Party Called Eternity
Book Summary
Gabriela Wiener bursts onto the scene with a poetic proposal that defies the conventions of time and waiting. A Little Party Called Eternity is a collection of poems that celebrates the present moment with vital urgency, where the author turns up the volume of existence to dance before dessert, skip the preambles of love, and face a world that is ending, but not just yet. Through a direct and unfiltered voice, Wiener turns poetry into an act of joyful resistance, exploring desire, rage, utopia, and disappointment with dazzling honesty.
What is it about?
The collection unfolds as a conscious celebration of transience. The author places every element in its spot, not always the expected or convenient one, to build a work that speaks of the past that propels us toward the future, of the night and its day, and of the intimate revolution. The poems move between love and desire, utopias and disappointments, rage and hope, all choreographed by the music of dancing bodies. It is a song to living with intensity, to not delaying what deserves to be lived now, at the precise moment that arrives when it must arrive.
