Pedro Mir's collection seamlessly weaves together themes of love, longing, and the whimsical nature of fantasy, capturing the essence of human emotion. Its lyrical verses reflect the vibrancy of Caribbean life and the deep connections that bind individuals together. Mir’s distinctive voice shines through as he transcends the ordinary, inviting readers to explore the extraordinary facets of love through rich imagery and poignant insights.

Translated by Jonathan Cohen, the poems maintain their evocative power while reaching a wider audience. Silvio Torres-Saillant's introduction adds depth, contextualizing Mir's work within the Caribbean literary tradition. Each poem oscillates between reality and dreams, allowing the reader to revel in the complexities of affection and desire. This collection stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of love and the creative spirit it inspires, making it an essential addition for those who appreciate the beauty of poetic expression.
