Contrary to what might seem to the reader about the female presence being associated with death, sensuality, and darkness—through the evocation of female figures whose image history has only promoted from this material aspect—the poet was too clever to fall into such a trap. The woman present in this collection is the sister of the poem and of life; rather, she is the poem and life itself, and she is the light after the darkness. She is the bearer of the secret of whispers and revelations, the richness of the letter, the preserver of the fruit of experience and alphabetic expertise. She is the flame-like presence that leads everyone scorched by the fire of creativity towards true richness and the original meaning of all things; the meaning that transforms the moon's coldness and paleness into an island of radiance that overflows as ink on paper, turning it into boats that sail towards downpours and rain.
