Poems old and new, reflections and prose recollections circle the poet's mother, Stefania. He returns to his childhood and describes her stay in hospital in 1957 and her death from cancer; the book also gathers family photographs and notes by his brother and by his mother. Her eyes, which watched him from his birth, go on watching with love, the poems say, even when the son was turned into a killing machine.
