Los daños

Inescapable poet with a wide recognized and award-winning work, Lorenzo Oliván explores new paths in Damages, which announces that we are facing a key title in his career. If poetry, as José Hierro said, is a tonic, the poems in Los Damages achieve a testimonial function, they accompany a general feeling of fracture, mourning and bewilderment. In a context in which distances have marked our lives, we have all needed to go back to our roots and links, a little more entangled in the labyrinth of who we are. The poet does not avoid being an orphan, the anguish at the loss of what we love and the silence of what fails to communicate. That is why it can be affirmed that these verses aspire to a catharsis and a vertigo of empathy between the voice that speaks to us and that of the reader.
