About This Book

A compact poetic collection of intimate, elegiac lyrics that blend personal sorrow, maternal tenderness, and longing for homeland. The poems juxtapose pastoral and riverine imagery with urban melancholy, giving voice to social hardships, memory, and spiritual resignation. Language relies on folk cadences and musical rhythms while experimenting with concise, fervent stanzaic forms, producing a tone both plaintive and dignified. Occasional prefatory material frames the poet’s life and reception, but the core remains concentrated on mortality, solitude, cultural belonging, and the expressive duties of poetry.

Yo no he nacido para odiar, sin duda,

Ni tampoco he nacido para amar,

Cuando el amor y el odio han lastimado

Mi corazón de una manera igual.

Como la peña oculta por el musgo

De algún arroyo solitario al pie,

Inmóvil y olvidada, yo quisiera

Ya vivir sin amar ni aborrecer.
