About This Book

A sequence of lyric poems in Galician that blend evocative depictions of misty coastal and rural landscapes with intimate meditations on grief, longing, and domestic life. The voice alternates tender, maternal and elegiac tones with sharper social awareness, addressing scarcity, departure, and cultural memory. Varied forms—short songs, narrative fragments, and longer reflective pieces—use folk rhythms and vivid natural imagery to explore language, belonging, and the persistence of feeling across absence and change.

XVII

Mais vé qu’o meu corazon

É un-ha rosa de cen follas,

Y é cada folla un-ha pena

Que vive apegada n’outra.

Quitas un-ha, quitas duas,

Penas me quedan de sobra,

Oxe dez, mañan corenta,

Desfolla que te desfolla...

¡O corazon m’arrincaras

Des qu’as arrincares todas!
