Anything that was framed goes down with the falling frames. The content, significant up to the point of the fall, loses its relevance or even existence to the collapse of the frames. If, however, frames are considered as boundaries, the Falling Frames allude to the freedom that comes with the fall and are therefore rebellious to the point of their own existence. Leaning Walls is the second in two book series Poetry of Falling Frames by Daniel Buinac....

Simplicidad y "sencillez" son términos a los que con los años fui teniéndoles cada vez más desconfianza, sobre todo cuando se habla de poesía.

Una disponibilidad...
