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.

Tal com’as nubes

Qu’impele o vento,

Y agora asombran, y agora alegran

Os espaços inmensos d’o ceo,

Así as ideas

Loucas qu’eu teño

As imaxes de multiples formas

D’estranas feituras, de cores incertos,

Agora asombran,

Agora acraran,

O fondo sin fondo d’o meu pensamento.
