La vuelta al mundo en 30 poemas

Around the World in 30 Poems is an invitation to travel across the five continents: each stop on the journey —Italy, Japan, Mexico, Australia, Egypt, and the Congo, among others— offers verses that artist Alicia Aradilla reinterprets through her unique perspective, surprising the reader with the diversity of our planet's landscapes. Her oil paintings lend a visual presence and power that accompany and intensify the poetic experience on each page. The book combines classical and traditional poetry with modern poems and diverse voices, reflecting how different cultures understand landscape, emotion, and daily life. It is a journey through time and space in which the painterly gesture and the poets' voices merge to describe each region of the world, its environment, and its sensibility in an unprecedented way. In an era where travel has become just another consumer experience, these pages remind us of the value of contemplating with attention and presence, and of not losing our capacity to be amazed by the beauty that surrounds us.
