Description
Interferences
Book Summary
A poetic work that bursts into reality to dismantle its masks. María Ángeles Pérez López constructs a lyrical fabric where anonymous and uncomfortable voices filter through like interference from a clandestine radio station. Through an exercise in intertextuality, the author engages poems by others in a dialogue with real lives to expose the conflict, violence, and hypocrisy of our time. This book proposes a necessary revision of contemporary social poetry, where beauty does not embellish, but rather strips the reader of their certainties.
What is it about?
Interferences is a collection of poetry that operates like a clandestine station, picking up hidden frequencies of reality. The author intertwines quotes and echoes from other poets with anonymous testimonies to build a mosaic of voices that narrate conflict, injustice, and silenced crimes. Far from complacent poetry, the book forces one to look at a bleak portrait of contemporary society, stripping the reader of any mask of comfort. The proposal is an highly original exercise in intertextuality that renews the paths of social poetry, showing the most terrible traits of humanity without aesthetic concessions.

Editorial review
Interferences is presented as a bold and necessary poetic proposal in the current landscape. María Ángeles Pérez López demonstrates an exceptional command of intertextuality to construct a discourse that does not shy away from discomfort. The work is of particular interest to those seeking poetry that engages in a dialogue with social reality without renouncing formal complexity. Its brevity (88 pages) does not diminish the impact of a poetry collection that invites multiple, increasingly revealing, rereadings.
