Heart Mortally Wounded By Six Strings (Gabriel Moreno)

This book is a compilation of poems exploring Gibraltarian cultural and literary identity. Written from 2020-2023, the poems feature the merging of Spanish and English literary and cultural influences. These metric, rhythmic and sonoric experiments are used to tackle themes as varied as inspiration, excess, longing, art and the contemporary sociological and philosophical debacle of The United Kingdom.

'Gabriel is a lively, experimental, self-ironising, occasionally outrageous poet with a penchant for erotic outpourings and passionate confession, impatient with otiose literary criticism, and revelling in poetry’s close alliance with madness. This collection, with its stunning title, ‘Heart Mortally Wounded with Six Strings’ repays repeated readings and is a source of undiluted pleasure.' (Charles Durante)
