At a time when poetry is regaining its voice as a space of intimacy and reflection, Latin American poet Carlos Mavila V. A. presents Confidencias del corazón, the second volume of his Alma Poética series. Now available worldwide on Amazon, this book gathers seventy-six poems written across decades, a lyrical mosaic that portrays love in its many transformations—from passion to silence, absence to reconciliation, illusion to maturity.
A Journey Through Poetry and Time
Unlike a typical poetry collection, Confidencias del corazón is structured as a poetic journey. Each poem was originally conceived as an individual piece, yet together they form a continuous narrative arc. The reader is guided through stages of enchantment, intimacy, separation, and renewal, creating not just a book to be read, but an experience to be lived.
Mavila’s voice is personal yet universal. His verses are rooted in lived experience—confessions whispered from the depths of memory—yet they echo the universal human longing for love, belonging, and transcendence. Readers will recognize themselves in his pages: in the rapture of union, in the wound of absence, and in the strength to rise again.
Woman as Muse and Mystery
At the heart of this work lies an homage to the feminine soul. Woman is not only muse but also essence, presence, and guide. In the imagery of lilies, birds, oceans, and dragonflies, the feminine becomes a symbol of beauty, fragility, and eternal inspiration. The final pages bring this theme to its most powerful conclusion: love, for Mavila, is the recognition of the person within Woman, beyond archetypes or illusions.
This focus gives Confidencias del corazón its unique place in contemporary poetry: as both an intimate diary and a universal tribute to Womanhood, Love, and the Soul.
From Lima to Manhattan: A Geography of the Heart
The poems in Confidencias del corazón also traverse physical and emotional landscapes. From Lima and Huamanga to Manhattan, Mavila maps the geography of love across cities and continents. His landscapes are not only geographical—they are emotional, metaphoric, and cosmological. Celestial bodies, stars, comets, and cosmic alignments appear throughout his poetry, turning intimacy into myth and suggesting that love itself has the power to move the universe.
The Arc of Love in 76 Poems
The structure of the book can be seen in four movements:
- Enchantment & Rescue – The opening poems recount love’s power to save and restore life.
- Fusion & Transformation – Lovers merge into water and fire, into lilies and birds, into cosmic symbols of transcendence.
- Absence & Silence – The midsection delves into distance, waiting, and the pain of separation.
- Reconciliation & Maturity – The closing poems embrace tenderness and offer a vision of love rooted not in illusion but in human recognition.
This architecture makes the book not only lyrical but also narrative—a story told in verse.
