Infundio (Cuentos del Coco)

A narrative collection of poems through which our most primal and childhood fears parade... The stories these verses narrate are tales distorted by the dark mirror of reality, legends told backwards; they hold a truth in their roots, but also inventions and assumptions raise their trunk and branches. Through the character of the Bogeyman--that anthropomorphic figure of our childhood imagination--Marta Boronat Redondo reflects on the meaning and uses of instilled fears, and delves into that shifting territory where memory takes the form of a symbol and nightmare is another layer of reality.
