It is a chronicle written backwards: it starts with our present and it moves towards our past. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

A cada cual su cielo
Read moreTitle A cada cual su cielo Author Fabio Morábito Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456110 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 120 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis A cada cual su cielo is written, in a way, against the idea of importance. Minimal situations acquire an unexpected superiority: the poet has expanded his method of looking at things in such a way that he can’t find considerable differences between them. The feet of Turkish women; bed sheets hung up at the rooftop that free us from the idea of God; the consent to lose a tooth for each well-written poem are some of the glimmers that strike the poet from different angles, forcing him to dig every time in a new direction to find meaning in his life. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
