Deseo de perro is a unique book within Sara Torres's work: a hybrid project between poetry and image that explores the intimacy of the bond between humans and animals.
Through a delicate and reflective poetic voice, the author delves into the emotional relationship we establish with dogs, that space of tenderness where language changes and becomes simpler, more vulnerable. The book covers different moments of living with an animal: the desire to share life with another species, the everyday gestures that build that bond, and the companionship animals offer during times of isolation or emotional fragility.
The text dialogues with the illustrations by Marta Velasco Velasco, which portray life shared with animals from a sensitive and close perspective. The work includes 12 full-color illustrations that accompany the poems and expand the book’s visual universe.
In Deseo de perro, Sara Torres reflects on the boundaries between the human and the animal, on care, emotional dependence, and the forms of love built outside traditional norms. An intimate book that addresses interspecies coexistence through poetry, tenderness, and everyday observation.
