Among the lost pages

Synopsis

There are books that are written with ink, and there are books that are written with heartbeats. Between the Lost Pages belongs to the latter. Marcelo Rioja gathers here an emotional map traced over the years: the instant when a childhood gaze returns forty years later transformed into destiny, the nights when distance is measured in time zones and not in kilometers, the shared dawns and those that are dreamed while waiting for reunion. Love, in these pages, does not only dwell in the skin: it unfolds in orbits and comets, in smoke signals and Morse messages, in a clock that someone lends and that must be learned to return intact. The entire cosmos becomes a witness —and sometimes an accomplice— of a story that also finds space for children, mothers, grandchildren, and for the quiet certainty that loving, in any of its forms, always leaves a mark. Written with a simplicity that never renounces depth, this poetry collection is an invitation to pause: to read slowly, to recognize oneself in waiting, and to remember that no page, no matter how lost, ever stops searching for the one who reads it.
