I Am Still a Root is a journey to the heart of intimacy. A dialogue between wound and hope, between memory and the skin that continues to beat. In its pages, the poetic voice pauses before pain without surrendering to it; it observes it, names it, and transforms it into learning, into tenderness, into a root. Through poems and fragments that oscillate between the personal and the universal, the book traces the map of a life that has learned to sustain itself through fragility. It speaks of the body as a territory of resistance, of love that survives loss, of faith in what remains even when everything changes. It is a book about returning: to oneself, to calm, to the origin. A reminder that even when everything seems uprooted, we still germinate. I Am Still a Root is a collection of poems that arises from the direct experience of physical pain, but unfolds as a radical affirmation of life. The poetic voice traverses suffering, fragility, and fear without ever abandoning the will to endure: to continue, to resist, to take root. The root functions as the symbolic axis of the book: not as stillness, but as resistance. As that which, even underground, continues to grow. The collection of poems explores the relationship with the body, medicine, time standing still, weariness, and hope, constructing an emotional narrative where living is, above all, an act of daily strength.
