Traditionalist Heart: Poetry 2008-2011 (Spanish Edition)

Berta García Faet's work has become one of the essential references of the new Spanish poetry: for her work with language, which builds a bridge between the two shores of the language, and also for her writing - in a certain way rewriting - aspects such as love and desire, the body, one's own identity or metaliterature. "Corazón Tradicionalista" brings together the author's first four books: "Manojo de abominations" (XVI Ana de Valle Poetry Prize; 2008), "Night club para alumnas aplicadas" (VII National Poetry Prize "Ciega de Manzanares"; 2009), "Introducción a todo" (IV Young Poetry Prize "Pablo García Baena"; 2011) and "Fresa y herida" (National Poetry Prize "Antonio González de Lama" 2010; 2011). A single volume that demonstrates with what intensity those concerns that now dazzle us were already beating in her initial poetry collections. "One of the firmest voices of today's Spanish poetry" (Martín López-Vega, El Cultural). "Despite her youth, Berta García Faet has established herself as one of the voices that matter in the narrative of recent Spanish poetry. (...) We need someone to remind us that the real workers of verse are risk takers. That's why we need Berta García Faet" (Luis Bagué Quílez, Babelia). "Like a poetic ABC in this overwritten beginning of the century, Berta García Faet teaches us the most current verbal solfeggio: we read, recount, dramatize in the great theater of the poem, for once taken by the clear grace of a voice that returns to us, in abundance, the gift of the word" (Julio Ortega, El Boomeran).
