Conceived as a catalog of the random and a map without a center, the book unfolds as a still life of what has been lost, where the poetic voice explores what does not appear yet still happens. A work that invites us to read the absent, the slight, and that which defines our outskirts between the lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poetry collection is articulated around the search for the inexplicable, for those phenomena that, without showing themselves, shape experience. Through a series of poems, the writing voice reflects on what is not seen, what remains on the edges of perception. The reader will encounter a journey that functions as a catalog of the fortuitous, a decentered map that offers no definitive answers, but instead pauses on the pale things, those that have been cast aside or never fully manifested. Each poem is an approach to the outskirts of reality, to that space where the absent defines the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe absent and the non-manifest as poetic experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eChance and the fortuitous as structuring elements of reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe memory of what is lost and the construction of a still life of objects and sensations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe margins of perception and what happens at the limits of the visible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIdentity and the poetic voice in relation to what is not shown.\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 explores the philosophical and the everyday from a lyrical perspective.
