MY WILD COUNTRY
Book Summary
In Mi paese salvaje, Ángela Segovia explores the limits of writing as an act of personal revelation. This work, part of the "Bella morte" series, represents a shift toward a freer poetry, less tethered to formal conventions, but with greater depth and grounding in intimate experience. The reader will find a collection of poems that convulses from within, where each verse is born from a genuine, unforced will, offering a raw and authentic look at the creative process and life itself.
What is it about?
The work is presented as an exercise in writing that arises from an inescapable inner impulse. Segovia describes a process in which writing cannot be forced without something "exploding inside." Mi paese salvaje is part of a broader series, "Bella morte," which the author defines as an approach to a form of expression with fewer stylistic constraints, but with a deeper connection to the root of human experience. Through visceral and reflective poetry, the book investigates the tension between creative control and surrendering to a wilder, more genuine flow of words.
