Detenimiento

Destrazas Ediciones, 2015
cover

Detenimiento is a disc-object in the author's own voice. An anthology which examines through a magnifying-glass (which is why one is presented to the reader-listener) the life that is left behind in every verse, the recovered steps of Ciudadela; the anguish of knowing oneself to be Lobo, the everyday Magia of daily life, the unreasoning determination to perform Oficios tristes, the unasked-for prayer and response to the most wounding poems. Miguel Maldonado recites the poems that life tore out of him, in the hope that in turn another will respond to him.
