Laia Corma Releases 'Flors d’Amor', Poetry Weaving Andorran Seasons and Love

Laia Corma, a 25-year-old poet from Encamp, has released *Flors d’Amor*, a new poetry collection published by Llamps i Trons that weaves Andorran landscapes and seasonal shifts into an exploration of romantic emotions.

Trained in literature and history in France and Spain, Corma structures the book around a couple's evolving relationship, using the four seasons as a metaphor for its emotional phases. The narrative begins in spring, when the protagonists meet amid the season's unpredictability—alternating rain, sun, and chill mirroring the initial nerves and uncertainties of new love, as flowers begin to bloom.

Each season advances their story through Andorra's parishes, with locations imbued with symbolism. Summer brings intense passion and sensory highs, while autumn—marked by leaves turning from green to orange and falling—ushers in conflict, contradictory feelings, and introspection, evoking emotional instability as the weather cools. The Margineda bridge appears as a pivotal metaphor for transition, marking a before-and-after shift between stages.

The collection culminates in winter, heightening introspection toward a critical argument that could strengthen or end the bond. Corma opts for an open ending, inviting readers to interpret the outcome. "It would have been easier to provide a closed finale," she notes, "but poetry involves playfulness, and I wanted to experiment by letting the audience decide."

Corma views love as an ever-evolving journey that reveals new ways of thinking and living. "Love moves the world," she says, citing figures like Cleopatra, while emphasizing personal identity, empathy, and adaptation—like puzzle pieces that sometimes fit. Every parish features in the poems, blending local settings with universal emotional insights.
