Overview
El nuevo poemario de Loreto Sesma, una de las autoras más conocidas y admiradas de la nueva generación de poetas. Un libro que transita por las penumbras del amanecer, en lo ambiguo de esa oscuridad que muta de repente en esperanza.
No bastó con querer es un claroscuro de versos que hablan del poder que ejerce sobre nosotros el recuerdo, el olvido imposible, que nos destruye pero a la vez nos ha construido como lo que somos, en la resiliencia.
Loreto Sesma dibuja con profundidad y alma el perfil de la dulce derrota del que ya sabe perder, de la victoria amarga del que conoce que será finita. Un conjunto de poemas sobre el dolor que llevamos en la maleta, el bagaje de las heridas del amor, pero también sobre la posibilidad de la luz.
«Llega el día.
Simplemente
recoges todos tus pedazos del silencio
y dices:
esto es querer,
pero ya no es amor».
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A new collection of poems by Loreto Sesma, one of the best known and most admired authors of the new generation of poets. A book that journeys through the gloom of dawn, in the ambiguity of that darkness that suddenly mutates into hope.
Loving Was Not Enough is a chiaroscuro of verses that speak of the power that memory has over us, an impossible oblivion, one that destroys us but at the same time made us what we are, resilient.
With great depth and emotion, Loreto Sesma draws an outline of the sweet defeat of someone who already knows he will lose, and of the bittersweet victory of one who knows his victory is momentaneous. A set of poems about the pain that we carry, the baggage of the wounds of love, but also about the possibility of reaching the light.
The day is here.
you Simply
pick up all your pieces of silence
and you say:
this means to love,
but it is no longer love.
