Luna Nueva En Acuario

Luna Nueva en Acuario is the second volume of poetry written by Lira. The book belongs to the serie Despues del Deseo, a set of poems written in different "mental processes" as the author likes to call them; one is her coming back to the United States where her daughter was born, and the second one is the healing time, a period of solitude to turn into adulthood. Lira writes in favor of the Human Rights rather than exclusively defending, her own gender because she has been impregnated by both worlds, female and male environments; macho and feminist societies. While living in Mexico, she grew up among farmers, medicine women and horseback riders, therefore, all of these major topics will always be present in her poetry, as well as mysticism and erotism. Luna Nueva en Acuario was written to honor her father who died when she was still a child, and to all of the amazing men that have influenced and captivated her life.
