Description
Maybe I'll call it Modagala
Book Summary
This collection of poems by Anna Roig is a work that intertwines the memory of childhood tales with the certainties that adult life imposes. Through writing that weaves and bastes, the author constructs a poetic universe where the daily struggle merges with the contemplation of dreams. The work explores existence as a gerund, a continuous becoming, inviting the reader on a journey between sadness and joy, tears and laughter, in search of an emotional and revealing thaw.
What is it about?
The work presents itself as a poetic journey that navigates between delirium and delight, taking childhood stories as a starting point to dismantle them and confront them with the truths learned over time. Anna Roig, like a seamstress of words, weaves and bastes verses that give shape to a vessel of language, facing the iceberg of reality to discover the water beneath. The collection of poems maintains that life is a gerund, a state of continuous action, where the struggle is perpetual but there is also room for contemplation. The author, like a persistent mountaineer, seeks peaks among stitches and climbs, giving rise to poetry that is at once "sadjoy" and "laughcry," a soliloquy that might be called a thaw.
