Juan Felipe Herrera's kaleidoscopic poetry collection takes the reader into unexpected territories, from the stark brutality of massacres and wars to the delicate duality of life's beauty, where borders of nations and eras blur as Herrera guides us through the historical and geographical journey of humanity. Crossing into Poland from Ukraine becomes a metaphor for traversing the boundaries of culture, heritage, and shared history. Even William Shatner's visionary experiences in the cosmos find a place within Herrera's poetic narrative, connecting the boundless human spirit with the enigma of the cosmos.



Throughout the book, Herrera fearlessly explores multidimensional landscapes. His words leap beyond the confines of conventional poetry, thrusting the reader into realms where imagination intertwines with reality. With each stanza, Herrera invites us to envision new dimensions, dream beyond the horizon of possibility, and embrace the transformative power of poetry.
