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.

¡SOYA!

Eran craro-los dias

Risoña-l’as mañâns,

Y era a tristeza sua

Negra com’a orfandá.

Iñase a amañecida

Tornaba c’o a serán...

Mais que fora ou viñera

Ninguen ll’o iña á esculcar.

Tomou un dia leve

Camiño d’o areal...

Como naide a esperaba,

Ela non tornou mais.

Ô cabo d’os tres dias

Botouna fora o mar,

Y alí ond’o corvo pousa,

Soya enterrad’está.
