As part
of Venezuela's participation in the Bogotá International Book Fair (FILBO
2024), the poet, journalist and director of the magazine Correo del Alba, Kris
González, shared her new collection of poems I Say Goodbye to These Abysses, with editions of Trinchera and Pinves.
According to information from Venezolana de Televisión, the Venezuelan woman highlighted that her work
“talks about the abysses, thoughts, truths, news, goodbyes from
physical or imaginary places and decisions that a
human being has to face at different times in his life.”
In addition,
he specified that he wrote the collection of poems after the death of his sister, since at
that time he could not understand how his heart could hurt so much. “This is in
memory of her, but I also say goodbye to processes, decisions that you experience, that
you make, and that are positive or negative, right or not, you have to go on with
life as it has been proposed to you,” he said.
I Say Goodbye to These Abysses is his fourth collection of poems. It is preceded by Espigario (2020), Albario (2021) and Altiplano (2022). “These four books of poetry are the most dear to me out of about eight that I have written, because they talk about this intimate, personal, but also terrible part of poetry when you express it in times as turbulent as the ones we live in these days,” he said.
