La Fatiga Invocada by José Rafael Lantigua
His new contribution to national culture contains forty poems, a set of expressive alternatives assembled into visual and aesthetic frameworks to boost the poetic word from varying angles.
Lantigua uses several themes in his new book; such as memory, personal growth, love and dreams.
It is his fourth book of poetry, but the writer decided on a limited edition for distribution among his friends, readers of poetry and individuals.
