Ni sombra de lo que fui

Synopsis of Ni sombra de lo que fui

«Ni sombra de lo que fui» is the poetry collection by Luis Martínez de Mingo, published by Eirene Editorial in paperback (84 pages, in Spanish).

This poetry collection traces the author's life without hiding anything. In the first part, the sonnets approach love with humour and irony; in the second, the free-verse poems confront the mother's agony, almost without metaphors. The work closes with brief compositions that, from Buddhism, Zen and Tao, raise a metaphysical questioning.

First edition, published in Madrid in December 2013. It is number 2 of the Poesía collection of Eirene Editorial.

For readers of contemporary poetry who appreciate a direct and introspective gaze, with influences from Buddhism, Zen and Tao.
