This new edition, revised by the author, gathers poems that function as sacred texts, where magic, symbol, and ceremony intertwine to offer an alternative account of the past. Through tenderness and vulnerability, the work delves into the expression of lesbian desire, the history of love between women, and the connection between the pagan and the sacred, creating a collective space of experience and pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is structured around two types of poems: those that present themselves as spells and songs, imbued with a ceremonial and magical character, and others that use symbol and intuition to narrate a different story of what came before us. The work is not limited to individual experience, but appeals to a shared tradition that speaks of the possibility of tenderness and vulnerability as forms of knowledge. This message is conveyed both through words and the body. At the heart of the work beats the expression of lesbian desire and the need to recover and create one's own narrative about love between women, exploring the depth of the past and the will to build a narrative future. Spells and Songs inaugurates a writing cycle that the author would continue with Phantasmagoria and The Bath Ritual, consolidating a unique poetic voice in contemporary literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLesbian desire as a poetic and political experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe reconstruction of a historical and literary tradition of love between women.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMagic, symbol, and intuition as tools for knowledge and creation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe connection between the pagan and the sacred in the female experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVulnerability and tenderness as forms of resistance and expression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is aimed at readers interested in contemporary poetry that explores identity, desire, and memory from a feminist and queer perspective.

The author's decision to revise and reissue this collection of poems, which opens a fundamental creative cycle, makes it a key piece for understanding her trajectory. The work offers its target audience a reading experience that transcends the aesthetic to enter a territory of memory, desire, and collective construction, consolidating itself as a reference text for those who seek in poetry a space for resistance and the creation of new imaginaries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LA BELLA VARSOVIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407184486747,"sku":"9788433929426","price":12.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978843392942.jpg?v=1781849494","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788433929426","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
