The title Read After Burning recreates the film “Burning After Reading” by the Cohen brothers . With this nod Rafael Soler presents a poetic anthology whose palette is cinema. The work has a savage comic taste for creative violence and a subtle mocking eye for details like the film it evokes. It is a lyrical thriller with black humor. The book begins with a Borgesian prologue and Cervantine wit. The Valencian poet combats pessimism with irony. In this line his rebellion with the rules is not surprising. The game is another constant because - as the poet declares in his peculiar " And then they will say that this is not a prologue" - he began to write poetry as a: "gloss of an adolescent journey that is not over."
