Reviews
A very short but enjoyable collection, about general life in an interesting way, many referencing Covid. The author clearly lives in or has lived in Spain, as several poems reference Spain in ways that are clearly not by a tourist.
My fave: La pulga--this poem is several pages long, and is about a professional soccer player and a game that was told to the player by the narrator when the player was a child
Others:
Prelude
Postlude
Both about grandmother dying, “saw it coming and she left" it show more being COVID
En el tie no indeciso (airplane) show less

Erudite, scholarly, deep knowledge about poetry, but tiringly meta-poetic
