Forrest Gump cambia el banco por una playa de Chipiona, y la caja de bombones por una de fresones. La metáfora sigue funcionando. Nunca sabes lo que te vas a encontrar. Aunque los fresones pueden parecer los mimos, a nadie le saben igual, ni el desfile de homenajes, empezando por Juan Ramón Jiménez, sonará igual a quien se adentre en La efervescencia de la aspirina, en Todas las veces que no he podido ir a Cádiz, en El nombre exacto de las fosas, y en La vida cotidiana. Como decía Yasunari Kawabata, en Lo bello y lo triste, uno no puede sentarse a esperar el pasado; el tiempo y los ...

The Back of Your Pickup is a collection of poetry that lingers in the spaces between love and loss, between leaving and staying, between who we were and who we became.
