Tempestad en víspera de viernes

Tempestad on Friday's Eve brings together the work so far by one of the great Spanish poets of today, Lara Moreno, from her debut with The custom wound and the poems included in After the apnea to those of her latest collection of poems, I had a cage, as well as several unpublished pieces, some composed during the 2020 pandemic. The set is an impressive sample of a personal poetry, close to the domestic and starkly visceral, in which Lara Moreno undresses with irony, tenderness and intimacy, sensual and painfully disturbing, the everyday reality that surrounds her and her status as a woman. In this sense, it may not be an exaggeration to say that Lara Moreno is to poetry what Lucia Berlin is to story.
