states the author - "Those who read are reminded that the author uses and applies various poetic licenses, having practically always been cradled and even graced (in a broad and narrow sense) by poetry and its warm and enveloping meshes, by its warmth maternal and by its eternal, ethereal light. These licenses have been partly accepted, partly acquired (with studium and various titles), partly suffered, partly accepted - both with the approval of the same, and with well-sharpened axes, and with apprenticeship with other poets and in navigating their works, and with the sweat of the despejada y linda brow of the direct experience of woods, forests and cliffs filled with truly astonishing literary and spontaneous vegetation.
