Description
Verses Caught in the Net
Book Summary
A poetic work that explores the fragility of being and the search for identity through oneiric imagery and introspective sensibility. Carmen García Mateos weaves a lyrical universe where the body, nature, and desire intertwine in verses that drift between the tangible and the ethereal. An emotional journey that invites the reader to immerse themselves in a web of emotions and reflections on existence.
What is it about?
The poetry collection unfolds as an exploration of the inner life, where the author uses powerful metaphors to describe the experience of feeling fragmented while simultaneously searching for unity. The recurring image of a suit impossible to stitch, a life with holes, and a body that is at once ghost and arpeggio, draws a landscape of vulnerability and resistance. The verses navigate between the anesthesia of the senses and the longing to be part of a greater whole, as expressed in the desire to be a "nameless gear" or "matter" that forms part of the world's structure. The work moves between melancholy and hope, using nature (water, earth, air, mud) as a symbol of growth and transformation.
