Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Alberto Guirao constructs in 'Casi paisaje' an intimate cartography where the boundaries between the self and the world blur until they reach that uncertain zone in which we inhabit. Through three movements--reflections on freedom in contemporary Madrid, the initiatory journey to the Greek islands of his alter ego Marcel Bochán, and Eastern contemplation in the rice fields of Vietnam--the author traces an emotional map that transcends the merely geographical. With a voice that combines technical precision with reflective depth, Guirao dialogues with the classical Greek tradition from an utterly contemporary sensibility, creating a poetic language that oscillates between urban irony and serene contemplation. The result is a mature and daring collection of poems that confirms its author as one of the most solid voices in contemporary Spanish poetry. Casi paisaje is a book about the journeys that transform us, about writing as a way of inhabiting the world, and about that strange human condition that makes us, almost without realizing it, part of the landscape we contemplate.
