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.

SIN NIÑO

Por montes e campías,

Camiños e espranadas,

Ven un-ha pomba soya,

Soya de rama en rama.

Síguena as probes crias,

Sedentas e cansadas,

Sin qu’alimento atope,

Pra darlles a bicada.

Tray manchada-l-as prumas,

Qu’eran un tempo brancas,

Tray muchas e rastreiras

Y abatida-l-as alas.

¡Ay! probe pomba, un tempo

Tan querida e tan branca,

¿Ônde vay o teu brilo...?

¿O teu amor ônd’anda?
