In this series of brief poems, Machado utilizes traditional Spanish verse forms to create a wide-ranging collection.

"Machado, in these Sappho-like fragments, takes us down not only the road less traveled but the road not seen, where transformation and transfiguration come not from self-made millions but from changing 'love into theology'"--Thomas Rain Crowe
