Sara Martínez Navarro presents her book 'Lexicon'. The Luzzy

SYNOPSIS

Language, like stone, seeks to outlive us. Roman Lexicon, winner of the Carmen Conde 2024 award, is, above all, a reflection on the desire to endure. From Piazza del Popolo to Via Appia, the collection of poems explores the streets of that Rome that served as María Zambrano's homeland during part of her exile.
