Sara Herrera Peralta weaves a book of poems that questions the physical and symbolic spaces of creation, the urgency of the sketch, and the choice of materials. Through verse and poetic prose, the author explores how domestic confinement, memory, and identity intersect with the creative process, offering a reflection on the historical difficulties faced by female creators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book arises from Louise Bourgeois's work \u003ci\u003eOde à Eugénie Grandet\u003c\/i\u003e and the embroidered pieces the artist created in her final stage. Sara Herrera Peralta establishes a fictional dialogue with Bourgeois to examine how motherhood impacts the development of a creative body of work, in both its symbolic and physical spaces. The book collects poems in verse and lyrical prose that engage with the author's intimate and collective memory, addressing themes such as displacement, migration, identity, and social threats. It is an inquiry into the circumstances from which artistic creation is approached, with its limits and possibilities, and the difficulties that women creators have historically faced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003eMotherhood as an experience that transforms the creative process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003eInter-artistic dialogue with the work of Louise Bourgeois, especially her textile and written production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003eArtistic creation in the domestic space and its symbolic and physical limitations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003ePersonal and collective memory as poetic material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003eIdentity, displacement, and migration as experiences that permeate the writing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003eEmbroidery and poetry as gestures of resistance and expression.\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 interested in contemporary poetry that addresses the female experience and artistic creation from a critical and personal perspective.
