Description
I COME FROM SEEING
Book Summary
Andrés Neuman delivers a visionary and collective collection of poems that probes our impulses for extinction and love as a contemporary origin myth. Through a lucid and carnal voice, the author explores the strange era we inhabit, combining thought, memory, and sensitivity. With high doses of hope and desire, these syncopated poems take us from upheaval to delicacy, from horror to hallucination, ultimately leading to a loving response in the face of destruction. A work that invites one to wonder what horizon to extract from a state of apocalyptic intuition.

The work moves from upheaval to delicacy, from horror to hallucination, and from fury to celebration, posing fundamental questions about how to defend spaces of tenderness in an often monstrous reality and what secret bonds link us to extinction. The journey culminates in a loving response to the destruction of which we are a part.
