💫 Presentation of “Anthology of My Verse in 100 Poems” by Juan Rodríguez Ruiz, the Poet of the Asphalt, at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Palma 🎨
📅 November 28 · ⏰ 7:00 PM
Today we're not here to talk about ourselves or our art. Today we're here to celebrate the words, the emotions, and the talent of a dear friend: Juan Rodríguez Ruiz, known in literary circles as the Poet of the Asphalt. A creator who transforms everyday life into poetry and every experience into a reflection that stays with you forever.
His new book (his fourth already), “Anthology of My Verse in 100 Poems,” is much more than a collection: it's an intimate journey through his experiences, his feelings, and his unique perspective on the world. Juan has the gift of playing with words like someone caressing a soul: gently, intensely, and leaving a profound mark that invites you to pause, breathe, and reflect.
This anthology also includes an added value that enriches the reading experience: the photographs of Milena Zapata, my life partner, a woman of boundless visual talent, and a dear friend. Her images converse with the verses, adding a layer of beauty and sensitivity that transforms each page into a complete work of art.
This book has also been designed by the talented artist Asunción González Álvarez, who has given a beautiful artistic touch to the overall design.
With his characteristic generosity, Juan also dedicates numerous poems to fellow artists—among whom we have the honor of counting ourselves—a gesture that fills us with pride and gratitude. It is a privilege to be part of his poetic universe and his circle of friends.
📍 The presentation will take place next Friday, November 28th at 7:00 pm
At the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Palma
Carrer Unió 3, 07001 Palma
It will be a special gathering, full of art, emotion, and words that resonate with life.
A space to enjoy the sensitivity of an author who writes from truth and from a life full of lessons learned.
Thank you, Juan, for sharing your talent, your humility, and your heart with us all. It is an honor to walk alongside your art. We wish you all the inspiration and success you deserve.
✨ We look forward to celebrating this wonderful literary work with you!
