Soñar con bicicletas

Perhaps the most characteristic mark of Ángeles Mora's poetic thinking, what is usually called "the poet's voice", is having assumed the condition of the self not as something substantive but as something always relational, built in connection with the world and with oneself. same. Thus, book by book, she has been opening a recognizable, very personal path, until obtaining important recognitions such as the Critics' Award (2015) and the National Poetry Prize (2016), both for her book Ficciones para una autobiografía. In Dreaming with bicycles we find a feminist poetry, committed and critical of a world that makes us and unmakes us every day. Poetry that she thinks, that looks for the flame of reason and beauty. Word that goes into the depths of being and existence, revealing our broken daily life, our contradictions. A book divided into four parts, in which the author's concerns become clear again: the passage of time, love, the light that inhabits poetry, the tears that open in our own flesh, the intensity or emotion of the poem, the underworld that drowns us. The woman takes the floor here to say to herself and to say life, that life that day by day slips through our fingers "like water passes through a sieve".
