Crossing roads is the flat point in which several roads cross, but it can also be called the critical moment in which the exit is not known. Crossings, therefore, occur in cities, but also within ourselves. Zeozer, by Beatriz Chivite Ezkieta (Pamplona, 1991), a poem that goes wrong, also speaks of this. In this field, fifth of its trajectory, Pamplona has gathered 70 poems that are divided into three sections arranged under subtitles that suggest the destruction of the earth or the confusion of the world.

Following the topics and spaces already treated and linked to the poet’s own trajectory, the poetic subject that is recognized to be contradictory is situated in the urban world today, and, however, reflects on the coercive character of the possible free choice that proclaims the time in which we live: “in the room of 5m² / lift the mattress and / yoga becomes study / broaden the folding table / and now they are in my dispatch…

In fact, the first and last poems are clear: something goes wrong. Happiness is unusual and begins to throw away what should flow. That is, the very end of the world also appears in these lines: the concern for the latter is also an issue that is manifested throughout the book. Poems transmit the sound of the end of the world to the ears, which are united with other aspects of our kitchens, such as life or the passage of time, grief and love. It should also be noted that in all this a tone of distrustful hopelessness can be seen: “We are approaching the end / and we no longer sweat / before appearing / we dry up tears”.

Above all this noise, there is still room for word and poetry: this same book can be understood as an attempt to replace the soundtrack that speaks through the word that is the only instrument in our hands.
