THE WINDOW DISPLAY…
Sweet verses caught in volatile clouds that complement a declaration of intentions, a fragile atmosphere of romantic airs and … metres and metres of white tulle that gently cover the floor – and the “sky” – of the inviting window for April, the month of culture and also of love. A window display which, in honour of the upcoming San Jordi celebration, is inspired by the Barcelona writer and journalist, María Leach author of the poetry book ‘Do not ever finish’ together with the distinguished traits of Paula Bonet, responsible for their artwork.
“Love, an adventure without comprehensive insurance, where, for sure, you have to risk everything , ” reads the poem in white letters on black background written in fine calligraphy. “It’s a very special verse because it was the one that accompanied our wedding invitations,” says Maria Leach as she reviews the last details of the shop window. The ultimate expression of love, according to the author, other verses that are part of her imaginary exposed on her blog and visually shared on Instagram.“I wanted to extract some of my micro poems to make a dedication to love in its most evocative vision,” explains the author.
ABOUT MARÍA LEACH …
María Leach is completely devoted to writing. In fact, her job is dedicated to the world of words and she helps companies find the speech to represent themselves or create the ideal storytelling to have a genuine story to tell. “Everything is yet to be written” she says bluntly. Thanks to the art of letters, Maria has also been able to overcome a huge obstacle in her personal life: the premature death of her husband and the father of her only son. As a result of this misfortune, the Barcelona author began to describe her situation with personal poems that transmitted the feelings that surrounded her head and could not express: pain, loss, loneliness, helplessness … as a literary therapy. She then channeled all this in his first book “Do not ever end” published by Editorial Espasa. “It has been a hard process, but it has taught me to face the things that we do not like but that are also part of life and in the end a promising project has come out of,” she says. An artistic experiment that the journalist proposed to Paula Bonet after working together on several occasions: one writing and the other illustrating. “Paula has interpreted my feelings very well and has shaped them perfectly,” adds the author.
Beyond the bittersweet situations she describes in short verses – with certain doses of irony and a pinch of resignation – Maria conceives this poem as a kind of self-help manual for those who go through a similar situation: “It is positive because there are people who can feel identified with the process of mourning through the various phases that appear such as rage, guilt or acceptance, “she adds. After all, it is a guide for understanding and empathy from personal experience. A collection of poems that value the very meaning of life.
