La vida secreta de los gatos

by Ana Juan and Marta Sanz

Friendship, love, community, curiosity, rage, introspection, maternity, death, hate, laziness, pleasure, sensuality, supernatural. These are the themes (as well as the table of contents) of this book, written by Marta Sanz and illustrated by Ana Juan. All the cats here are unique and fascinating but not all are cute, and some are positively menacing.

I am not a huge fan of vers libre but, since some of the poems made me smile, the poetry passed the test. Also, (I think) I expanded my vocabulary with words as azogue, gazapo, pócima, reyezuelo, zángano...
