La reproducción de las plantas (Plant Reproduction)

Luci ha decidido cazar las moscas que, zigzagueando entre las páginas de su cuaderno de tareas, le impiden concentrarse. Usará una red tejida con palabras y silencios: la red de sus versos. Poco a poco, los insectos que la niña atrapa en su poema invaden su imaginación: la radio zumba, su hermana es una larva, las gafas de su abuela son ojos de múltiples facetas; ella misma sabe volar, transformada en mosca de alas frágiles por el poder de la poesía. Los versos de este poemario zumban y cabriolean, invitando al lector a acompañar a los insectos - y a Luci - en su vuelo caprichoso.
