This work is a voyage into the poetic land of Nahuatl, exploring the literature of the Song of Flowers, complemented by an essay by Alberto Manguel on song and flowers in world literature. It is made-to-measure with natural, low-resource-consumption fibers derived from wine-growing and is accessible and demanding. Poetry in Nahuatl is designated by metaphors, "flower, song," and is an ephemeral moment of beauty and truth, symbolized by the flower and the song. It is intimately linked to the surrounding vegetation and flowers, and words and their associations are to be imagined as the poem as a bouquet of words to be sung to the sky.

Nahuatl, a language spoken in central Mexico since the 7th century, is renowned for its poetic expression, characterized by the metaphors "Ni Xochitl Ni Kuikatl," which translate to "flower, song." This poetic language captures the essence of beauty and truth, symbolized by the flower and the song. It is an elevation, an outpouring that is expressed through the poetry. The flower reaches for the sky, and the song soars into the air.
In this book, we embark on a voyage into the poetic land of Nahuatl, exploring the literature of the Song of Flowers. Accompanied by an essay by Alberto Manguel on song and flowers in world literature, this work is both accessible and demanding. The book is made from natural, low-resource-consumption fibers derived from wine-growing, making it a sustainable choice.
In Nahuatl, poetry is not just about writing; it is a form of expression that unfolds through song and is intimately linked to the surrounding vegetation and flowers. Words and their associations are to be imagined as a bouquet of words to be sung to the sky.
This book offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse world of Nahuatl poetry, a language that has been passed down through generations and continues to inspire and captivate readers today.
