Entonces a través de este libro descubrimos, poéticamente, lo bello que es el amor, que nos alienta a ir más lejos, a dar más. También nos da pistas para descubrir el amor propio, el amor a la familia, a los hijos, aquel que no espera, el que no proyecta, el que no se apega.

The grandstand is a guiding metaphor for these questing narrative poems that reach back into childhood and forward into the life of a writer constantly experimenting with form and voice.
