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.

¡Cal as nubes n’o espaço sin limites

Errantes voltexan!

Un-has son brancas,

Outras son negras,

Un-has pombas sin fel, me parecen,

Despiden outras

Luz de centela...

Sopran ventos contrarios n’altura

Y â desbandada,

Van levándoas sin orden nin tino

Nin eu sey pra onde,

Nin sey por que causa:

Van levándoas, cal levan os anos

Os nosos ensoños

Y a nosa esperanza.
