Title: Adrift Author: Valeria Correa Fiz ISBN: 9798990322424 Publisher: Sundial House Published: 2025 Binding: Paperback Language: English Number of Pages: 150 Condition Note: New from the publisher Publisher Description: The poems in Adrift focus on erotic desire, loss, and exile, and reveal two central tensions of the human condition: what one possesses and what slips away; what is desired and what can never be fully attained. This personal anthology by the award-winning Argentine poet, highly celebrated in Spain, offers a deep reflection on the transient nature of passions and life, and embraces language as a place where the fleeting can find a form of permanence. In this collection, the written word stands as a tool to combat the void, a balm that covers the wounds of loss and absence. The book closes with one final question: who controls the poetic act, the poet or the words themselves? That tension between control and surrender, and the instability it creates, is part of the mystery of the poetic craft--and of life itself.
