Haize gaziak is the title of a collection of poems created by Arantzazu Martinez Etxarri in real life moments, looking at the sea. The poems are based on the writer´s experiences and reflect both bitter and sweet feelings.
The author wants to warn us that between birth and death, life moves like the waves. Salty words can be healing for the wounds of our lives and the photographs add meaning to the words of the poems, fleshing out their poetic reading.
We can hear the sound of the sea through experimental poems that could be considered of the ready-made style. These poems that combine words with feagures correspond to the latest writing phase of the author, giving a step forward towards a more figurative writing.
