Hi! You're very handsome. Can I meet you?

Hi there! Thank you 💚✨ I really appreciate it.

As for meeting me? I'm from Argentina, let's start by that (? (DMs are open in case you or anyone wants to chat tho)

It's pretty big my book, some would say it's a trilogy ! 😏 and do not worry my pet, it fits 😏

Sincerely yours,

CBD.

Then prove it ;)

I have a few gaps on my library, your trilogy would fill it nicely

Book Review: Selección de poemas de Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer

My Review in a Tweet:

I can't be impartial with Bécquer, he's a central poet in one of the canon events of my life (my first love). Luckily, I could still enjoy his Rhymes, and I read for the first time his Literary Letters and his Legends (which some read like horror stories).

My Full Review:

Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer is probably the first poet I read attentively, and I have loved him ever since I read his Rhymes for the first time. I gifted my copy because I was young and innocent, so I had to buy this book again.

Fortunately, this anthology includes not only his Rhymes, which I read again with great pleasure, but also his Literary Letters to a Woman and his Legends (each marked with a spanish city or theme).

Becquer fits perfectly in this romantic idea of poets, a brilliant and tortured genius, whose poems fill an intrincated metric and respect the rhyme while doing so. His themes also reflect this pinning, this painful way of experimenting romantic feelings, of tragic love.

The Literary Letters and the Symphonic Introduction of his Rhymes are wonderful works of poetic prose, blooming with beautiful allegories and metaphors, exuding such a love for Poetry itself you find yourself tempted to pick up a pen and follow in vain the steps of this bard.

I can't say much more other than restating my love for this author and his works: Becquer remains a core author of my taste in poetry in particular and literature in general.

My other 2024 readings.

Interesting fantasy, any special book you wanna have me reading?
