About The Book

Un debut poesía espectacular.

todavía quedas tú es una colección de poemas y reflexiones centradas en la presencia, la transformación interior y la valentía para superar momentos de profundo cambio. Atravesando ciclos de pérdida, transformación y retorno, el libro invita al lector a una profunda presencia, recordándole que incluso cuando todo lo familiar se desvanece, hay fuerza, sanación y un poder silencioso en poseerse a uno mismo.

La narrativa se guía por figuras internas recurrentes: El Amante, que se mueve entre el asombro, la devoción y la presencia; El Melancólico, que se hunde en el dolor, la sombra y la soledad; El Sabio, que adquiere sabiduría a través de la experiencia vivida; y El Anciano, que reflexiona sobre la vida desde una perspectiva futura, moldeada por la memoria y el significado. Juntas, estas voces forman un retrato complejo de un yo en movimiento, más que de un protagonista singular.

Ambientado en paisajes interiores y naturales, el libro se mueve entre bosques, lluvia, anochecer, amanecer y luz cambiante, utilizando la naturaleza como un espejo viviente de la impermanencia, la sanación y la renovación. A medida que la narrativa se profundiza, lo que inicialmente parece fragmentación se convierte en integración. El viaje se resuelve no con certeza ni cierre, sino con presencia. Al regresar una y otra vez al yo, el libro revela su verdad central: incluso cuando todo lo familiar se desvanece, hay fuerza, sanación y un poder sereno en poseerse a uno mismo.

A spectacular, tender-hearted poetry debut.

you still have yourself is a contemplative collection of poems and reflections that follows an inner journey through loss, transformation, and return. Structured around the passage of time and embodied as different inner archetypes, the book unfolds across five sections, each representing a distinct season of becoming.

The narrative is guided by recurring inner figures: The Lover, who moves through awe, devotion, and presence; The Melancholic, who descends into grief, shadow, and solitude; The Sage, who gathers wisdom through lived experience; and The Elder, who reflects on life from a future vantage point shaped by memory and meaning. Together, these voices form a layered portrait of a self in motion rather than a singular protagonist.

Set within both inner and natural landscapes, the book moves through forests, rain, nightfall, dawn, and shifting light, using nature as a living mirror for impermanence, healing, and renewal.

As the narrative deepens, what initially feels like fragmentation becomes integration. The journey resolves not with certainty or closure, but with presence. In returning again and again to the self, the book reveals its central truth: even when everything familiar falls away, there is strength, healing, and quiet power in having oneself.
