The publishing house itself notes, with regard to the author and the book: “The reconnection with ella after the death of hierbamala marks the beginning of this singular poetic journey through liminal territories between the conscious and the unconscious. Its protagonists take us along a tortuous path, speckled with traps. They carry burdens, and at times their fear is evident. There is something they must do together.
Obsessed with finding a language with which to name things by their meaning, Miriam Reyes turns to the great work of María Moliner for help. In the winding of the definitions she discovers the only possible strategy for advance for this river-poem that coils through meanders. In it, we witness the slow flow of defense mechanisms, dissociation and silencing that operate in the split consciousness of the subject.
More than in any of her previous books, Reyes’s writing here is that of someone who does not know and searches, the writing of someone who surrenders—not without trembling—to a way of understanding that exceeds the rational. With verses of a vibrant sensoriality, she invites us to open our senses and read with the whole body to experience with her this inner drift, which is also an attempt to learn to live with what never dies”.
