At the event, in addition to hosting a small reading of the book, there was a small cocktail and a musical performance by Pedro Callejón de la Calle.
"Thanks to the 'Reading, thinking and imagining' program, hundreds of writers and writers have passed through Luzzy, none of which is as special as the one Pedro Fernández accompanies today" says the Councilor for Culture, as Peter Fern, as is known This writer has already felt the need to express his experiences and reflections through poetry.
The work, which has been subsidized by the same author, deals with how the world in which we live today is changing according to the thoughts, dreams and point of view of the author.
In the words of Pedro Fernández, "the book is made with the soul, with the heart and with simplicity".
Its title, explains the author, comes from a dream in which some chickens appeared on the asphalt of a road.
They had a deteriorated appearance and seemed to be out of place, of their habitat, which is why the title perfectly reflects the thoughts of these changes that have been experimenting in society, which has little to do with that of a few years ago.
