This book addresses contemporary discourses on a wide variety of topics related to the ideological and epistemological changes of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and the ways in which they have shaped the Spanish language and cultural manifestations in both Spain and Hispanic America.

En 1982, el poeta abulense publicaba su primer poemario. Ahora, cuatro décadas más tarde y cinco años después de su último trabajo (Inalterable luz, Vaso Roto), publica Locuaces gorriones, una celebración de la búsqueda de lo fundamental, de la identidad, de aquello que perdemos en nuestros laberintos y que intentamos recuperar a través de la palabra.

Tres momentos vividos desde la experiencia de la creación, asumidos como una necesidad de afrontar los abismos.
