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.

Más rápidos que el rayo,

Más alados que el viento,

Inquietos vagamundos que no pueden

Refrenar nunca el inconstante vuelo,

Así descienden de la mar al fondo

Como escalan la altura de los cielos.

Mas si son impalpables é incorpóreos

Y múltiples y varios,

¿Por qué llamarles pensamientos negros

Ó pensamientos blancos,

Si no tienen color, esos del alma

Invisibles

Eternos é invisibles soberanos?
