Cómo enterrar al padre en un poema, by Corina Oproae, is a poetry book that explores memory, loss, and the very process of poetic creation. Through refined and thoughtful writing, the author delves into the realms of grief, childhood, and identity, building a space where language becomes a form of knowledge and resistance.
The poems move between images of nature and the symbolic world, where jackdaws, crows, roots, or wounds appear as signs of an inner experience seeking to understand time and memory. Along this journey, other voices from the poetic tradition also engage in dialogue, such as Sylvia Plath, Wislawa Szymborska, Ana Blandiana, Elizabeth Bishop, and Alejandra Pizarnik, summoned in compositions that establish a literary, biographical, and aesthetic exchange.
The result is a book that reflects on the mystery of poetry and its ability to transform personal experience into a form of awareness. The work also includes readings and evaluations by authors such as María Negroni, María Ángeles Pérez López, Ana Blandiana, and Piedad Bonnett, who highlight the emotional intensity and clarity of a poetic voice that moves between thought, memory, and emotion.
