The Utopian Yawp of Hope: Of Love, Family, God, and Hope (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798385223404)

The following poetry collection involves a compilation of poems about four main topics, of which the main catalyzer is love and hope. None have been previously published, although they have been orally shared amongst friends and family. They mainly speak about the ways in which family, friends, God, and the experience of falling in love have forged the author's thankfulness for the experiences of studying in Germany, Finland, and Austria as a foreign student from Colombia. After having studied and worked in Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Austria, and England, David Caicedo Sarralde's mother tongue became permanently intertwined with English--so much so that he views it as another mother tongue, which has given the wonderful opportunity to express a wider scope of feelings and emotions. These poems are mixed in English and Spanish, in which bilingual young adults could find a delightful taste. The author's personal influences coming from Pablo Neruda's romantic poems, or Reiner Maria Rilke, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Gaston Baquero, or Uncle Walt's majestically hopeful perspective on life have also inspired him to write this book as a way to connect with the hearts of people who still believe in the unexplainable beauty of life, including falling in love, or even the faith in love at first sight.
