“Poetry is a path toward the knowledge of a hidden reality that pulsates beneath the surface of things and that, at a certain moment, the poet sees, illuminates, and shares with us. It is the discovery of what is there, which is why it has so much in common with scientific research.”
José Alcamí, virologist, Carlos III Health Institute.
