Taking us through different times and places, engaging with history and mythology but always capturing the intensity and humor of every passing moment, these poems confront us with fears, nightmares and visions of contemporary world in all their nuances. They keep transiting between wakeful and dream experiences in search of a rooted but also vagrant self of the protagonist in an expression deeply personal and broadly collective.
