Writer Cristina Ruiz Guerrero will present her poetry collection Florezcan azules las hortensias on Monday, April 13, 2026, at the Fundación Caballero Bonald in Jerez de la Frontera, a work that addresses Eating Disorders (EDs) with a poetic and hopeful outlook.

The event, scheduled for 8:00 PM at the venue on Calle Caballeros 17, stands out in Jerez's cultural agenda for its courageous approach. The work, published by Peripecias Libros, offers a lyrical testimony that seeks to break the silence surrounding EDs, transforming pain into a message of future possibilities.
The presentation will feature writer Rosario Troncoso as the moderator. Additionally, members of the Asociación de Personas Lectoras de Cádiz will participate by reciting Ruiz Guerrero's compositions, enriching the discussion on the importance of poetry as a tool for raising awareness.

Florezcan azules las hortensias» is not just a book of poems, but the chronicle of a process of illness.

The poetry collection addresses technical concepts related to EDs, such as the «intake notebook» or «normo weight,» from an artistic perspective. Through a maternal lyrical self that dialogues with the figure of the daughter, the author symbolizes the traumatic experience many young people currently face, offering an empathetic view towards the so-called «vestals of hunger.»
Admission to the presentation is free until the foundation's capacity is reached, reinforcing the city's cultural activity. To conclude the literary evening, a glass of sherry will be served, courtesy of the emblematic Tabanco El Pasaje, providing an opportunity to converse with the author about the social impact of her work.
