Waiting alone in hospital rooms, tangled among beloved bodies, buried under layers of silence or calling out to God in vain in front of the toilet lid. In Los bordes, María Limón uses body and voice to explore all those moments when it is possible to become children again amid the emptiness.
Girls who tremble with hunger and fear in front of themselves. Girls who say out loud what seemed impossible to say: this guilt is not new. Over time, those girls grow up, becoming women who still tremble before death, the absence of other beloved women, and the collapse of everything that seemed firm.
The poetry collection is built from lack and from searching. It is not about the limits of the body, but about how the body can be pushed to the limit through love, illness, and memory.
In Los bordes, María Limón composes an intense and vulnerable book of poetry, marked by fragility, desire, and the persistence of affection even in moments of greatest helplessness.
