On Friday, January 17 at 7:30 p.m. , in the Auditorium of the Public Library of Palencia , the presentation of the book of poems Hotel Silencio by the writer from Valladolid Jesús Salviejo Sánchez will take place.

Hotel Silencio is a book of poetry and a home where words burn and summon darkness. It is a place, but also a mirror. When you enter, when you register, it will be filled with voices and travelers. You touch it and it touches you, you read it and it reads you, and, if you look out onto its balconies, you will see yourself inside. You will not find closed doors, all its rooms are open books. No one sleeps here and only those who listen to the world stay here, lying in bed, sleepless, with their gaze lost in the ceiling. Within its walls everything fits, at least for a moment: what we know and what we don't know, what we say and what we keep quiet, what we feel and don't recognize, what we remember and what we forget. Even what we believe. You can stay there for a few hours, in a private appointment with yourself. Perhaps inhabit it while waiting for others. Perhaps wait for destiny and forget about time. Its silence is a silent saying that cries out against the noise. You visit it like a city, you live like a building, you listen like a jukebox that keeps the songs from old vinyl records. Welcome, have a nice stay and don't worry, it knows how to keep secrets.
