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.

Lévame á aquela fonte cristaiña

Onde xuntos bebemos

As purisimas auguas qu’apagaban

Sede d’amor e llama de deseyos.

Lévame po-la man cal n’outros dias...

Mais non, que teño medo

De ver n’o cristal liquido

A sombra d’aquel negro

Desengano sin cura nin consolo,

Qu’antr’os dous puxo o tempo.
