Description

A cascade of vivid snapshots sweeps listeners into bustling harbors, smoky cafés and restless night streets, each poem a fleeting glimpse of life on the edge of the sea. The verses tumble like dice across Breton docks, where fishermen cling to each other’s arms and women with sea‑salt hair mend nets above their heads. Voices rise from the clamor of a coffee‑concert, the crackle of pistons, and the murmur of a midnight window, painting a world where the ordinary and the uncanny dance together.

Through a kaleidoscope of color and sound, the collection drifts from sun‑splashed beaches to the electric hum of Buenos Aires, from the echoing corridors of a cathedral to the scented breezes of Rio’s bay. The poet’s language is both tactile and lyrical, turning rusted rails, broken limbs and rubber boats into metaphors for desire, loss and fleeting connection. Listeners will find themselves suspended between reality and reverie, carried along the rhythmic tide of each line.
