Although the poems included in this volume are full of specific geographical references, these tend to be altered until they achieve a rarefied nature that does not allow us to fully cling to them. Throughout the book Landaeta seems to ask himself how it is possible to narrate a violence that does not correspond to the categories we have historically created to describe it: wars, battles, revolutions. Despite the difficulty that this poses, it becomes necessary to tell it somehow, to integrate it into the symbolic. How can this be done? Landaeta builds a parallel, distorted universe that revolves around a hostile and monumental loss, but without describing it directly-instead he articulates it periphrastically, using a kind of left-handed logic.
