Ese espacio, ese jardín

A short book of poems that returns to childhood, to days spent in Zacatecas beside a grandmother within a large family, and tells it as a story of the senses without plot. Its lines are shorter than in the poet's early books: children trade glances by a lit pond, their voices run through the air in bursts of joy, and a garden keeps its hidden spring. The dead come back here as well: they look at us from that place, speak and call as if in sleep, and carry us from one dream to the next, because death is rooted in the full heart of life.
