The poet from Castellón, Ana Sala Galindo, has published her first collection of poems, Insight (Olé Libros, 2026), a confessional work born from the need to narrate internal silences and self-identity.

Ana Sala Galindo (born in Castellón in 1978) has introduced herself with Insight, a book that arises from the urgency of looking inward and expressing voiceless silences with the rawness of truth. The author, according to the critic Laia Argüelles, offers a "shared Insight" where the symbolic and confessional nature meet naturally.
The work aligns with poets who explore intimacy and wounds without pretense, such as Alejandra Pizarnik, Sylvia Plath, and Anne Sexton. Her verses exalt "the greatness of the inner water" and invite the reader to explore the limits of personal transit through her longings and wounds.

In the absence of intellectuality and flourishes, a few metaphors and symbols appear without classism and classicism, composing a simple but profound story.

Music is a very present element in the author's life and work, having explored different artistic fronts. This influence resonates in the poetry collection, to the extent that one poem establishes a dialogue with a track by Bunbury, illustrating the musical narratology that inevitably permeates her experiential universe.
Insight, published by Olé Libros in 2026, consists of 63 pages and aims to occupy a privileged place of consciousness in intimacy and thought, harmonizing the spheres of knowledge, emotion, and revelation.
