Manual for inhabiting the edges without getting cut is a book of poems that explores the limits —emotional, vital and linguistic— and the way in which we continue to inhabit the world with care, vulnerability and strength, even when everything seems sharp.

The poetry collection is born from years of writing, silences, losses, and rediscoveries of language. Altamirano conceives of poetry as a space to inhabit the cracks, those places where identity fractures, questions itself, and is rebuilt. The "edges" are both personal boundaries and thresholds of transformation.

The texts move between introspection and observation of the world, with a voice that combines tenderness, anger, fragility, and lucidity . The author seeks to "feel the breath of words" and explore the "disconnected crater of the poem," a metaphor for the fragmented human experience.

Annie Altamirano is an Argentine writer and educator based in Salamanca, recognized for her international career as a teacher and lecturer.
