Con esta dedicatoria, Miren Agur nos invita a recorrer con ella ese camino hacia el horizonte, un camino por el que han caminado libres y de la mano Miren Agur y Ane Pikaza, un camino que va de la oscuridad a la luz.
Recomendado a partir de 12 años, es un poemario multiedad porque es también para aquellos lectores que, a pesar de su edad, todavía reconocen las voces, los sonidos y los paisajes de su infancia.
Miren Agur nos ofrece un viaje guiado por una rosa de los vientos, convirtiendo en sentimiento cada paisaje que presenta a lo largo del camino. Como en un juego, siguiendo la música que acompaña a cada uno de los poemas, el lector completará el pentagrama de este libro de poemas para que pueda ser leído una y otra vez y, cautivado por la música, cautivado por las dulces y libres melodías, conducirá al lector hasta el último poema.
Para Miren Agur mirar al horizonte puede ser el impulso para empezar. Para Ane Pikaza su horizonte está en un mundo onírico que no tiene fin.
Summer of 1936. War has just started and Jon arrives in Garraiceta, at the home of his uncle, the lighthouse keeper. He will spend a year living there, a year in which he will see his life and his environment changed. He will meet love and hate, friendship and treason, the big things and the lowest things regarding human being, together with the suffering and hopes of the people from his village.

Two young people – Special and Mr X- are in love, but theirs is a secret love. Throughout this story, the two of them will try to answer the question that names the book by means of their reflections and their experiences. The many sides of this feeling (desire, jealously, commitment, doubts…) will appear in the personal point of view of each one of them. However, this couple is aware of the world that surrounds them: they are concern about poverty, war, climate change, domestic violence, inequality … and they show their commitment in their poems, or in the lyrics of the songs they write. That is the reason of so many references to music or literature.
A work full of meanings, made of short chapters and that contains a whole book of poems inside it.
A innovative story that is not read in just one direction but jumping from a narrator to the other one… just as love is: a two voices dialogue.
Selected by Germán Sánchez Ruipérez Foundation to contribute “Lo + 2011” (2011 tops).
Miren Agur has been awarded by the Literature Critics Award 2011.
