Juanpe Sánchez López and Elizabeth Duval

On the night of the burning little garden, an asthmatic cupid shoots his arrows. He crosses the beautiful but insufficient spaces of tradition, searching in other voices for an echo of his own; in clichés, the dream of a common place. Heir to a poetics of rewriting already established in Spain by authors like Berta García Faet, Desde las gradas is a collection of poems about vulnerability, a nostalgia that does not cancel out hope. Sick with love and demand, the lyrical subject, like a hyper-aware child, searches for himself in the history of the Earth and literature, finds meaning in the words of his favorite authors, and ultimately shapes a lyrical narrative that is both intimate and shared. Thus, between pain and play, Juanpe Sánchez López gives us his story, ours, written from a place of kids who love each other, of Greek heroes kneeling in airports, of parties that, like their love arrows, will leave wounds.

Andrea Abello Collados

It is a loud text, with beautiful and childish colors, sometimes fluorescent; it plays on the beach like a child who since childhood has learned to drink cheap vodka and store-brand Red Bull.
