PRÓLOGO
DUAS PALABRAS D’A AUTORA
V
The volume gathers a fresh bloom of verses written in Galician, a language the poet lovingly restores to a modern, readable form. Dedicated to the Galician Beneficence Society in Havana, the poems echo the author's gratitude for the support of her expatriate community and celebrate the everyday life of the homeland. Each piece balances personal feeling with a reverent portrayal of the landscape, seasons, and the simple rituals that define rural Galicia.
In the introductory essay, the writer invites listeners on a journey across Spain’s historic sites, from the silent stones of Toledo’s cathedral to the rugged peaks of Montserrat. She weaves together memory, myth, and the echo of ancient battles, suggesting that the true story of a nation lives in its stones and songs. The tone is both scholarly and intimate, offering a lyrical map that guides the ear toward the heart of Galician identity.
