What is being presented
Poet Juan Vicente Piqueras presents La Estrella 13, a joint reissue of his poetry collections Aldea and Padre, illustrated by Susana López Arce and published by Alalimón Creaciones. The work revolves around the theme of the Odyssey, where Ithaca symbolises his hometown, Los Duques. The book blends rural poetry with intimate reflection, revisiting two works that explore memory and roots.
