La nada (2026)/La tinta y el abismo
La nada (2026)/La tinta y el abismo
La nada is an epistolary piece submitted to the open call of Etérea Editorial (Colombia) for its forthcoming anthology, La tinta y el abismo. The work was selected for publication, and the anthology is currently awaiting its official release. Once published, La tinta y el abismo will be available in bookstores across Colombia, Ecuador, the United States, Mexico, Chile, Peru, and other countries.
Written as a letter addressed to absence itself, La nada is a deeply intimate meditation on emptiness and silence—a message entrusted to someone who will never read its verses.
Eight Eleven (2026)
Eight Eleven (2026)
Eight Eleven is a passage through rubble and luminance, through the deep and the trivial. It is spirit and soul, a body stretched and folded; it is to hallucinate, to get lost, and to return. It moves through sacred numerology and the pulse of astrology: a path of reunion —yes, reunion. The book is divided into eight chapters, each containing eleven poems shaped by encounter, pain, falling in love, relapse, beginning again, loving anew, and letting go. It is dedicated to a very special being with whom we came to remember.
Its release is scheduled for August 12, 2026.
Song book (2025)
Song book (2025)
Now available on Amazon Kindle and for free PDF download on Calaméo, Song Book (Cancionero) is a journey through time: to unfreeze memory and no longer drown in the streams that try to make everything vanish into stagnation.
Cancionero is a timid kiss that wished to be rehearsed until it could unleash tidal waves, yet through so much repetition it remained imperfect—and was born.
For to come into the world, one must stand at the end of the line, without giving in.
Available exclusively in Spanish.
