Stripped Windows is the revised and enhanced translation of Del Valle's first book Ventanas desnudas. His autobiographical account begins with a tribute to the plantain tree as a symbol of his humble roots. He uses the personification of this plant and perfectly blends the movements and sounds of the surrounding trees and birds welcoming the newborn. Then, using the free rhetorical style verse, he persuades us to go on a journey through six windows resembling a partial story of his life as a child, with a particular connection with the family cow Ojinegra; as a student in a rural school, he has the experience of platonic love for his beautiful cousin; as the last child, he has a close bonding with his mother; as a brother, he deals with ten more siblings; as a rural and urban teacher, he leaves footprints in children and youngsters; as military, he goes beyond the call of duty implementing his medical abilities.
