Book Summary
A choral poetic work where two friendly voices, those of Antonio García Teijeiro and Juan Carlos Martín Ramos, intertwine to offer a unique lyrical experience centered on the sea. This book invites children and adolescents to discover poetry as a play of words, images, and sensations, enriched by the illustrations of Juan Ramón Alonso. An anthology that celebrates friendship, creativity, and the beauty of the seascape through verses that sound, smell, and taste like the sea.
What is it about?
Two poets, one from Galicia and the other from Andalusia, unite their voices in a poetic dialogue that flows like the waves. The book is structured as an exchange of verses where the sea is the great protagonist: the wind, the surf, the seashells, the distant horizons, the nights, and the moons become recurring themes. It is not just a simple collection of poems, but a choral work where the written word is complemented by graphic images, enhancing the lyricism and musicality of each poem. The reader will find a sensory exploration of the maritime environment, from contemplation to dreams, in a shared poetic journey.
