This work is a battle against the darkness and blindness found in certain strands of contemporary Spanish-language poetry. Within its pages, cities, crows, musicians, and painters endure the undying image of the author's deceased daughter. Miguel Ángel Zapata offers us a poetry of transparency-verse that flows like the pulse connecting day and night, or like water blessing a beloved body. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOctavio Paz once noted that there are poets whose writing remains virtually unchanged from one work to another, yet achieves a rare perfection. Zapata knows how to find beauty in his obsessions, and it is precisely what brings him closer to wisdom. It is a wisdom that emerges with deceptive spontaneity, unforced and understated-and his poetry is all the more compelling for it. It is a small miracle that, as the reader will discover, requires nothing more than the convergence of silence and a voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 8.25 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 25, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67914176495870,"sku":"9781969317248","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/8716\/4670\/files\/sd6IY0vZbB9781969317248.webp?v=1793354258","url":"https:\/\/123learningstore.com\/products\/the-vase-threatens-to-speak-paperback","provider":"123 Learning Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
