Through a collection of verse and prose, the poet explores the paradox of an autumn that promised romance but transformed into a struggle for the liberation of a profound sentiment. The work rescues the figure of the beloved, a recurring presence in the author's memory, and reflects upon a love that, although it did not reach the desired intimacy, remains indelible. Far from failure, the book celebrates the persistence of affection and the dignity of devotion, offering the reader a sincere and melancholy look at unconsummated desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book delves into the poet's personal experience during the autumn of 2018, a season he associates with discovery and falling in love. However, this particular autumn deviates from expectations: it is not a period of shared idyll, but of a silent and passionate struggle on behalf of the beloved woman. The work revolves around the figure of the beloved, whom the author calls \"la Gloria,\" an almost mythical character of memory who had already appeared in his earlier poetry. Throughout the pages, the poet narrates how that love did not bear the fruits of intimacy he longed for, but he insists that it should not be remembered as a failure. Instead, he proposes understanding it as an episode of affective resistance, where the struggle for love becomes the true engine of poetic creation. The work transitions between poetic prose and verse, exploring the tension between idealization and reality, memory and oblivion, and the sadness that is born from a love that could not be fully lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUnrequited or unconsummated love: the experience of an intense affection that does not achieve the desired intimate reciprocity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePoetic memory and the recollection of the beloved: the figure of \"la Gloria\" as a symbol of a love that endures beyond time and distance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStruggle as a form of love: the effort and dedication on behalf of the loved one, even when the result is not union.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAutumn as a metaphor for melancholy and reflection: the season as a setting for introspection and mixed feelings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe dignity of sentimental failure: the vindication of an amorous experience which, although not fruitful, should not be considered a mistake or a defeat.\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 who appreciate confessional lyricism and emotional introspection.
