In the words of the author, “Of this sea,” tells us about something symbolic: the sea as a totality, in this case the totality of the spirit, the totality of the soul, he explained that it is identified as romantic, but the title does not talk about the wonders of the sea. ocean, it speaks to us of the state or states of the soul, of heartbreak, desperation, fear, violence; states that are born from pain, it is an encounter with death, a dialogue with memory to encounter those personal abysses that, throughout life, can leave us in a state of desolation, of emptiness.
After analyzing and commenting on this work, the audience eager to ask questions took over the microphone and questioned the author why the creation of the book lasted 10 years, how many poems were left out of this work, and there were those who admitted that they identified with some verses about everything where the earthly departure of a loved one was between the lines.
