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.

Tan sólo dudas y terrores siento,

Divino Cristo, si de Ti me aparto;

Mas cuando hacia la Cruz vuelvo los ojos,

Me resigno á seguir con mi calvario.

Y alzando al cielo la mirada ansiosa

Busco á tu Padre en el espacio inmenso,

Como el piloto en la tormenta busca

La luz del faro que le guíe al puerto.
