«Actos de habla» is Jaime Siles's poetry collection, published by Plaza y Janés in hardback (53 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together eleven poems on identity, time and language. Siles deploys a meditative, intellectual poetry with a melancholic gaze on the experience of the self; some of the texts were conceived during the author's stay in Florence.
The collection was published in 2009 and won the XIII Premio de Poesía Ciudad de Torrevieja; the edition includes an illustrated dust jacket.
For readers of poetry in Spanish seeking a brief, introspective work of contemporary craft.
