A guerra era contra nós

Synopsis of A guerra era contra nós

«A guerra era contra nós» is the poetry collection by Carlos Da Aira, published by Edicións Xerais in paperback (48 pages, in Galician).

The author presents human history as a compendium of premonitions, stories and legends, and asks why, after millennia, humanity still does not live free and happy. His poems move away from the self to speak of the collective: they turn the word into an instrument of consciousness and bet on love as a form of struggle and rebellion.

This book belongs to the Edición Literaria: Poesía collection and received the Manuel Lueiro Rey Poetry Prize.

For readers of contemporary Galician poetry interested in collective commitment and reflection on the human condition.
