A autora (Fisteus, 1972), afirma na introdución que, cando xa ninguén escribe cartas a man, ela decide manter correspondencia con amizades e diversas personalidades do mundo da escrita e da cultura de Galicia para artellar un persoal libro de cartas. Estas son «elos que unen. Vínculos afectivos que nos achegan uns a outros e nos manteñen cos pés na terra. A lingua é algo amoroso e táctil», afirma. Textos íntimos, literarios, fondamente poéticos... e reais, posto que foron efectivamente cartas enviadas por correo postal ás persoas destinatarias. Ilustrado por Anxo Pastor.

Lupe Gómez was born in Fisteus, Galicia in 1972 and currently lives in Santiago de Compostela. Her first book of poems, Pornography, published in the mid 1990s, sent a ripple of surprise and protest through Galician literature for its bold exploration of women’s bodies and sexuality. It was translated into English by Rebeca Lema and Erín Moure, and published in Germany in 2013 in an extensive volume on her work entitled Libre e estranxeira—Estudos e traducións. Camouflage (Chan da Pólvora, 2017) is her 15th book, and is in its third printing in Galicia. It received the prestigious Spanish Critics’ Prize for 2018 for poetry in Galician and the 2018 Gala do Libro Galego Prize for poetry. Camouflage and Pornography will both appear in Spanish (Castilian) translation in 2019. Besides devoting herself to poetry, Gómez is a journalist and theater critic, and a liturgical reader in the cathedral of Santiago. Her work will soon be put to music by acclaimed musician and singer Amancio Prada.
