Paper is not a boring surface if the chicharreta, lilibela, or totoleta wait to be detached, folded and bent to reveal their tridimensional volume, their balance and dimension in space. They allow us to reflect on and understand the role they play in the artistic creation of space and shape. It’s an experience that brings us closer to the basic elements of modern art.

“Natural Journey” aims to remove the old-fashioned tension between art and science in order to approach nature’s shapes and colors with astonishment and without being distracted from the main task: to learn from it and listen to its call in the midst of the climate crisis. Botanical illustration is the art that allows us to enter the world of plants through our senses. But it is also a scientific record that provides botanists and scholars with subtle and precise representations that no technological device can reproduce. A botanist, an illustrator and a journalist are touched by the journey led by other women who inspired them with their environmental sensitivity and awareness. When reading “Natural Journey”, you will be taken into a pleasant walk through six types of plants whose names take after their identifying characteristics. “Travelers”, some inspire and others move (without legs or wings), “dangerous”, even lethal, colors and characteristics that define them, “deceitful”, traps and camouflages to get what they want, “rebels”, those who dodge the rules, undisciplined, stubborn and defiant, and “hungry” from the Plant to the Animal Kingdom, nutrient-capture strategies, “flamboyant”, as emerged from delirium. The book also contains each plant’s data sheet and mapping.

Imaginería perpetua la idea del tiempo y sus palabras. Búsqueda entre los recovecos e intersticios del pasado: celosías agrietadas y hierbajos. Secuencia volátil, rabiosa, la del insecto. ¿De qué nos hablan estos poemas de Flor Bosco? Nos hablan del dios de la infancia, anomalías, gracia mística. Poemas que murmuran, sisean, ríen casi en silencio. Hablan de duelo, telas antiguas, canarios, olor a naftalina, cirio, taconcitos, pavorreales, ternura envuelta en andrajos y devota tristeza. Entre Ángeles y Moscas permanece la idea del asombro como guiño, como evidencia, universo propio: el cotidiano de la poeta. Sabemos que todo es parte de todo. Sabemos que la poesía es un texto que se teje con algunos hilos de otros textos. Sabemos que hablamos el lenguaje absoluto del balbuceo. Así que Flor Bosco también teje, también trama. Las raras criaturas, los poemas, también comen. ¿Su alimento? El Tiempo.

¿Cómo podría describirles el Hotel Hastings? Traté de comenzar por algo sencillo. Una silla —me dije—, tiene que ser fácil describir una silla. Lo primero que tuve que hacer fue ponerme de pie. Dice el budismo que el esfuerzo arruina toda naturalidad. O eso me dijo Buda mientras nos aburríamos haciendo fila. Él también parecía estar de pie, pero con Siddhartha no se puede saber muy bien nunca qué es lo que está diciendo. Tiene una bien ganada reputación de bromista pesado. Pero no nos desviemos aunque, claro, es fácil desviarse si el hotel está — ¿lo dije ya? — en una isla de existencia dudosa. No desesperen. Eso no va a ayudarles. No, al menos, para alcanzar la santidad que aquí, en una habitación cualquiera, ha iluminado a un tipo que ve crecer su cáncer con la convicción que otros dedican a espiar el movimiento de las plantas cuando no hace viento. ¿Les parece sospechoso? De seguro es solamente su miedo a parecer sospechosos. Lo repito: no se preocupen por nada. Ignoro si ser policía sea muy difícil, pero les recomiendo que mejor sean lectores. Finalmente, si les incomoda tanto que esto sea un hotel, pueden contarles a sus amigos y parientes —cuando vuelvan— que sólo estuvieron en un libro de poemas.
A plague of flying insects is damaging an undefined city in an abstract present. Vibrant and disturbing swarms darken the sky, while violence spread in the streets and the number of suicides increases exponentially. Five young men take shelter in a house away in the woods, far from the collective delusion, fear and sufferance that reigns in the city. Voluntarily confined, the five friends will face solitude and despair; they will go through their own memories and dreads, living in an oneiric atmosphere between life and death.

Now his only goal is to meet his wife, but communicating with her is impossible and getting where she is is very difficult when thousands of people want to kill him and turn him into their breakfast. Virus is an urban history that deals bluntly with human nature and whose vertiginous rhythm doesn't allow the reader to take their eyes off its pages.
