Cecila Pavón’s new interactive Spanish translation of Ariana Reines’ bestselling poetry book, Coeur de Leon.
¿Qué fuerzas extrañas se desatan ante la inminencia del desamor? ¿Y cómo abordar ese tópico atávico y universal desde nuestro híper conectado nuevo milenio? Mezcla alquímica de epistolario, manual de la sensibilidad contemporánea, tratado metafísico y crónica política, Coeur de Lion es ante todo un libro sobre las posibilidades infinitas y caleidoscópicas de la poesía.
-Cecila Pavón
