A contemporary Spanish author from Alicante has made a notable entry into the literary scene with a poetry collection that gathers 83 poems written across a year of love, culminating just before a global health crisis changed daily life. The book, praised by readers for its intimate voice, presents a love story told in a linear progression of verse, offering readers a sequence that feels like a walk through a diary, each poem a moment in a singular relationship arc.
The author’s background includes early work in music before turning to narrative prose. This transition is reflected in the cadence and rhythm of the poems, which began as lines written on a napkin during a tendre but turbulent year. When the relationship ended, poetry became the primary channel to process grief and to transform personal experience into something that could comfort or illuminate others facing similar heartbreak. The collection invites readers to witness how sorrow can be reshaped into art, a common thread among poets who turn personal trials into shared meaning.
Among the 83 poems is a range of lengths and styles. Some pieces read like brief aphorisms, precise and pointed, while others unfold into longer, more expansive meditations. The emotional spectrum runs from romance to sadness, yet the tone remains frank and sincere throughout. The author describes this body of work as a deliberate catalog of moments, arranged to trace the life of a relationship from its hopeful start to its eventual conclusion.
Forewords are typically reserved for established voices, but in this instance a notable figure pened a brief introduction that frames the collection as a form of lightness that momentarily elevates the heart. The foreword highlights the work as engaging with a type of love that lifts the reader above ordinary gravity, and it suggests an engagement with poetry that stands in dialogue with earlier traditions as well as contemporary voices.
The author’s path includes an early career in education and a long-standing practice of writing that spans fiction and poetry. The journey from teaching to storytelling is marked by a readiness to embrace change and to redraw the boundaries between genres. The novelistic ambition shows through in the author’s later projects, including a third installment in a popular urban fantasy series and revisions to earlier manuscripts created for adult readers. Throughout, the voice remains curious, restless, and committed to exploring how life’s shifts—big and small—shape the stories that emerge in print.
