A veces, un poema llega sin previo aviso. El poeta se topa con él. El poeta no sabe cómo contenerlo --o no quiere hacerlo--. Se sumerge en él. Deja que lleguen las palabras. Disfruta de la fortuna de estar vivo. Y vuela. Volatile es una colección de poemas en verso libre sobre la naturaleza, viva y fascinante. Campos, playas y noches se despliegan aquí con pinceladas únicas.
Sometimes, a poem arrives unannounced. The poet stumbles upon it. The poet doesn't know how to contain it -- or doesn't want to. Dives in it. Allows the words to arrive. Enjoys the luck of being alive. And flies. Volatile is a collection of free-verse poems about nature, alive and enchanting. Fields, beaches, and nights are displayed here with unique brushstrokes.
The book features a very special type of binding known as exposed Smyth sewing, in which the sewn threads along the spine are left visible rather than covered by a traditional binding. This style highlights the craftsmanship of the binding process, allows the book to easily open completely flat, and creates an aesthetic in keeping with this poetry series.
