The changing conceptions of love, the devaluation of romantic experience, the mirrored alleys of desire and self-esteem... The comedy of the flesh questions some of the emotional issues of our contemporary world. And who? First of all, her partner; that seems to be the case. But it is also a voice that questions itself. And of course, you who read it, a voice that you listen to, until you reach a permeable, plural conversation. The flesh of these poems falls in love and suffers, desires and betrays, lies and lets itself be deceived. It is a flesh that lives with its disappearance: not only its death in a personal sense, but the destruction of a biosphere, of a habitable world and of the present time. To put it in a somewhat twisted way: this poetry, even in its desolate moments, seems condemned to optimism.
