Description
Evito el verb
Book Summary
Evito el verb is a collection of poems that invites the reader to explore the construction of reality through language and silence. Rosa Comes abandons the notion of the unrepeatable to enter the mirror of duality, where truth emerges from the sum of elements. The work reflects on how we define ourselves verbally through others, until encountering the limits of words. In this poetic journey, silence is revealed as the only way to express the most intense emotions, offering a profound and meditative look at identity and communication.
What is it about?
This collection of poems is part of a broader project that experiments with different approaches to reality. While in her previous work, 3: atzar, the numerical axis was one (a symbol of unrepeatability), in Evito el verb, the poems are based on the mirror and the even number. The author suggests that the truth of life could be found in the sum of elements, not in the isolated and unpredictable event. Through this dual logic, the work analyzes how we construct ourselves verbally based on others, exploring the limits that words impose. Finally, silence stands as the only option to define the most intense emotions, closing a cycle of reflection on language and identity.
