Hijas del Sol Naciente, (Paperback)

Like the haijin who has managed to capture the precise moment--or aware--and capture it, Joan de la Vega creates snapshots in which, with meditative and fertile contemplation, he captures the fibers of everyday life and its mystical reverberation. Inspired by the Japanese poetry of Kobayashi Issa, alongside the lithographs of Katsushika Hokusai in Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, he embarks on a journey of initiation through nature and the human condition, the real and its aspirations, the detail of a flower by the roadside. The pain of the world and its compassion are revealed to us with the subtle harmony of a brush that has known how to trace, with the precise calligraphy of one who fears not, that vast expanse of the unnameable. A book that, like an oracle, questions us about who we are and how we can strengthen those bonds that unite us to the universe of which we are an indissoluble part. MARÍA GARCÍA ZAMBRANO A sublime collection of poems, with a clear gaze, that reorganizes the elements of our world through tranquility and revelation. AZAHARA ALONSO There is a point of free emptiness, of silence that is a point of intersection. It barely breathes in the traces of the air. It fades and reaches us, giving itself for nothing. We do not know why it insists on its fragility, which is ours. What it says, it says without being seen, almost without being heard. This poet places this point not at the end but at the beginning of every sentence, of every word, right where the experience of the decisive moment opens up as if such a thing were possible. ANTONIO MÉNDEZ RUBIO "Poetry is painting that speaks, and painting, silent poetry," noted the Greek poet Simonides of Ceos. Two and a half millennia later, Joan de la Vega-Ramal masterfully brings Hokusai's prints to life and gathers unknown words, ambassadors of a floating world. A notebook from the west to gather the light coming from the east and bring it to the reader with the same delicacy with which cherry blossoms fall. High poetry that invites us to contemplation, to the art of looking at what has no owner. LAURA GIORDANI In Daughters of a Rising Sun, Joan's words bloom like the most beautiful cherry blossoms and fill us with meaning and a delicate, everlasting light. JULIO MAS ALCARAZ
