My Captain / My Heroines

Undoubtedly, these poems are an Ode, an act of faith in humanity, in the freedom of the personal individual, a necessary revolution that transcends activisms to nourish the essence that composes us as individuals, poetry is also a revolutionary act, but it does not overthrow governments, institutions or homelands, which undoubtedly convulses is our spirits, our way of looking at ourselves in our narcissist mirror, without selfies, or beauty filters. This poems are an act of faith. As for the free metric, for moments adjusted to the rhyme, for moments free verses as an appellation, they are a musical field, there is in Luisa’s poetry a constant becoming of informality, this marks a character that emerges at times in spurts, at times like a voice that speaks to itself, but that finally evokes an enthusiasm, a message of vital and unattainable energy.Who wouldn’t want to be that Heroine!Francisco Brives.Poet and FilmmakerI think that in my readings of Luisa Aguado I find a woman in search of great things in this world, greatness is no stranger to her. If you look closely, each poem has that woman who seems invincible, who won’t let herself fall, even if they want to sink her down. Self-satisfied, she comforts herself and others, and gets encouraged with her own words. The book is a great poem dedicated to herself and all those women who have risen to fly free.Enmanuel Peralta.Writer.Biografy of authorLuisa Aguado is a spanish professional actress who has worked in Tv, Cinema and Theater.
