This collection of poems presents itself as a lyrical repose that challenges both the divine and the reader, whom the author conceives as a human form of God capable of sustaining the book's universe. With an intense and reflective voice, the work explores the limits of faith and language, offering a literary experience that defies spiritual and poetic conventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrdeal\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of poems constructed as an act of resistance and devotion. The author uses poetry as a space for intimate confrontation with the sacred, where blasphemy becomes pious and prayer is tinged with rebellion. Throughout its pages, the reader will find verses that oscillate between criticism and supplication, in a constant dialogue with an absent or silent divinity. The work is inspired by the tradition of the Poetic Edda, yet it reinterprets it from a contemporary sensibility, turning the book into a symbolic chalice that holds the blood of human and literary experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe conflicting and dialectical relationship with the divine, between blasphemy and prayer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePoetry as an act of spiritual resistance and questioning of faith.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe reader as a sacred figure and pillar of the literary universe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe reinterpretation of ancient myths and poetic traditions, such as the Edda, from a contemporary voice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRepose as a metaphor for the search for meaning amidst existential chaos.\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 of contemporary poetry interested in works that explore spirituality from a critical and lyrical perspective.
