Humans step in, personas based off the author, and consider loss, depression, and love- inner-self mixed with creature habits—scratching down a lover's back or crying in a zoo.

"Las esferas animales" es el tipo de poemario visceral al que su autor, Sowieski, nos tiene acostumbrados: una poesía afilada, descarnada, un verso dispuesto a morir matando, una pluma que se pierde en laberintos de espejos y en sigilos escritos por manos no humanas. Sowieski es un ilustrador, escritor y guionista con más de quince obras a sus espaldas, obras que van desde el verso kamikaze a la espiral narrativa que se muerde la cola.
