Patricia Fernández, in La luna en verso, presents us with a work where the Moon becomes the guiding thread, full of symbolism. The poetry in this book draws from the cycles of life, death, and rebirth, with the Moon always present as a witness to mourning and as a symbol of acceptance of change. Through this element, the author addresses both melancholy and loss as well as hope and renewal. The recurring images of water and the sea reinforce fluidity and constant change, key aspects in Fernández’s poetics, deeply influenced by the life and work of Federico García Lorca.
The collection of poems also stands out for its exploration of three female archetypes: the Crone, the Woman, and the Girl, which intertwine in a symbolic space that celebrates the life cycle. These archetypes are connected with essential elements such as the womb, water, and the sea, powerful symbols of creation and transformation. With these images, Fernández invites the reader to reflect on the passage of time and the inevitable power of change, capturing both the beauty and the pain inherent in this process. Lorca’s influence is felt in the way the author articulates these symbolic images, creating a poetic universe full of depth and emotion.
