Publisher's Synopsis
Throughout the collection, allegorical references to travel and conflict, and more specifically to natural and ambient elements, are linked to literary and mythological allusions. Together they create both a territory and a complex essential path: that of violence and the precariousness of human existence, the open wounds of conflict that can only become a source of poetry through our awareness. Williamson does not shrink from what contemporary history says to us in daily events unfolding - under our eyes - with war, migration or terrorism, nor deadened by the barrage of news or facile rhetoric. Instead, he focuses his gaze and vision on the manifestations of such events, in which the human condition is so crudely embodied.
