Configurations: Poetry

The first poem Piedra del Sol is magnificent, then we have short poems that are quite boring. The middle of the book is all about orientalism after a trip to India, and the poems are not good. After his letter to Leon, the quality rises again, as he comes back to the sun, elements, transparency and the original. His last poem, Blanco, is great. Throughout the whole collection, the themes that are coming back are sun, transparency, women, ideé fixe, duality, eyes, bodies, sex, death.
