For a child frantic to fit in, each day was an exhausting pretence. He managed to ride a bike, when even reading involved pressing his nose to the page and painfully forcing his eyes to concentrate. Head up, he strode through a carefully memorized labyrinth of streets, hoping to fool passers-by that he could actually see.

In this turbulent world, 'Stop the world I want to get off’ is a poetry collection to comfort and cheer you on as you navigate life’s challenges.

En su libro prima, Davy Mejía explora sus mayores pasiones: el voluntariado, sus tiempos de excursionista, de socorrista y bombero; los lazos de amistad que se forjaron durante sus años de colegio, de su barrio, entre Evaristo Morales y Gazcue, y durante las excursiones al pico Duarte o a cualquier otra latitud de la geografía nacional pero muy frecuentemente alrededor de una fogata. Escribe, además, sobre el primer amor, sobre el amor imposible, sobre la familia.
