The forest is a vast world where all living and nonliving entities are interconnected, governed by their own laws and traditions. A secret underground network of fungi transmits signals, and animals maintain balance, keeping life in constant motion. Trees connect through their roots, forming a gigantic system that supports the living beings around them, generously sharing nutrients, and even after death continues to nourish those who remain.
“Raíces del Bosque” is a poetry book that invites readers to experience the forest as a great community. Paulina Jara’s poetry echoes the voice of the forest itself, sharing its wisdom and secrets, while Marcos Guardiola’s vibrant, sometimes almost neon-colored illustrations create an atmosphere of mystery and tension.
