Author Description

The book 'Leves certezas', by Victoria López Mata, is a tribute to memory. López Mata reveals her particular universe, which is also that of all those who have experienced life in the countryside, even if it has been in a passing period. The author's youth contrasts with the profound maturity of her poetry, which claims a lyrical voice of its own. The author transcends her work to enter into the life and emotions of the reader, who will be seduced by her deeply intimate uses of language that explore the Self, the family, life, desire, love.... His work reflects a new intimacy that manages to connect with the emotions of the reader, who becomes the protagonist of the whole drama of the discourse. With clearly marked influences in her verses, such as Octavio Paz, Begoña M. Rueda, Machado, Josep M. Rodríguez, Heidegger and Anne Sexton, among others, López positions herself in contemporary poetry with an optic that revisits the feminine, giving it a new place, with a cultured and mature sense. With this book, the author demonstrates that she is more than capable of synthesizing the traditional with innovation, achieving a very personal blend of past and present. With 'Leves certezas', Victoria López Mata joins a new generation of young poets deeply connected to the literary tradition and who bring a renewed and necessary voice to the contemporary poetic field.
