Realism and evocation are arranged in the three books included in this volume; to the descriptive intensity marked by two epic ascents, the symbol merges and the insinuating and bursting paradoxes that reign with crudeness and reveal unusual existential combinations between those who inhabit and vacate the city. The poetic swing is powered by a calculated but also vehement and alliterate rhythm; music and rumble, expansion and reduction, whistle and scream, melody and concretion, intersect in those roads of high intelligent and emotional significance to decant what saves us and condemn what sinks us.
