Description
POETRY IS NOT DEAD
Book Summary
In "Poetry is not dead," Luna Miguel challenges the boundaries of contemporary lyricism with a powerful and defiant voice. This collection of poems, published by La Bella Varsovia, explores sensuality, desire, and rebellion through raw imagery and extraordinary diction. With influences ranging from digital culture to mythology, the author constructs a poetic universe where sex, the flesh, and the urban periphery become material for literary alchemy. A brief yet intense work that asserts the vitality of the poem in a world dominated by narrative.
What is it about?
The collection is articulated around a feminine voice that embodies the figure of Lilith, powerful and determined to be cast out of paradise. Through verses that metabolize references such as Belladona and Jenna Haze, Luna Miguel fuses the overhead light of screens with extraordinary sensuality. The settings transition between Madrid and its ruined outskirts, in a tone that evokes both the desert of Valente and Bolaño and the energy of punk. The work verifies that the poem has never been so alive, challenging the reader to repeat the slogan: "Poetry is not dead."

Luna Miguel constructs a lyrical universe where the digital and the carnal intertwine with high-brow and popular references, offering a reading that challenges the contemporary reader.
