In Poserótica, Elizabeth Duval explores love, desire, and language through writing that combines philosophical reflection and intimate experience. Throughout the book, the author faces a persistent question: how to write a love poem when language itself seems to come between the one who feels and what they try to name.
Against the constant murmur of the world, saturated with meanings and slogans, the poetry collection seeks to recover a more direct and vulnerable way of speaking. The poetic voice moves between interpretation, irony, and the fragility of bodies that recognize each other, approach, and retreat before the abyss that loving implies.
Duval’s poems advance through conscious contradictions, between thought and emotion, exploring that space where desire and language mutually strain each other. The book thus offers a poetic reflection on love, interpretation, and the difficulty of naming what happens between two bodies.
The edition opens with a foreword by the poet and essayist Eduardo Fraile, which places the book within a poetic tradition where thought, desire, and language constantly dialogue.
