Sobremesa

A Poetic Conversation in Five Acts

De: Jeffrey Buller

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

In Sobremesa, Jeffrey L. Buller lingers in the unhurried space after the obvious ending—the quiet hour when conversation outlasts the meal. These poems move between wry observation and tender confession: a grocery cart with its own agenda, a houseplant’s silent judgment, the ache of a voice overheard in a supermarket aisle. Buller’s gift is noticing: the way a lamp keeps vigil for tomorrow’s forgiveness, how a receipt can itemize modest hopes, why some jokes echo at three a.m. With humor that never denies heart, and intimacy that never slips into sentimentality, Sobremesa invites readers to sit a little longer—past the small talk and the tidy moral—until what matters has room to arrive.

By turns reflective, playful, and disarmingly direct, these are poems that believe in the consolations of everyday life: coffee gone cold, books that wait without complaint, and the stubborn mercy of ordinary afternoons. Pull up a chair. Stay for one more story. The conversation’s not over yet.
