After publishing two collections of poems and several short stories, Míriam Cano (Molins de Rei, 1982) suffered from a creative block. Five years later, the poet and translator broke that literary silence with Metamorphosis (L'Avenç), an intimate chronicle of two trips she made to the Greek village of Metamorfosis, which transformed her from within. On the first, Cano is accompanied by two great friends, Borja and Julia, and Julia's daughter, a baby. On the second, the writer shares the stay with Julia and her mother, Nuri, who has just lost her husband. Through them, the book explores friendship and loss, while inviting us to take things one step at a time, enjoying simple pleasures—eating, talking, not overthinking—and accepting ourselves without fear.
