Here are the links to some of my books of poems. You can read them, download them as PDF or buy them…
(in Spanish) Todo lo Sabe la Tierra
“Todo lo sabe la Tierra, teaches us that Everything is infinitely rich, that Everything is an endless journey – and the journey requires us to prostrate ourselves, to touch the earth, to feel the layers of joy and pain that are in every speck of dust, to contemplate the unmentionable deaths and births that are under our nails (…)”.
(in Spanish) El Mar y la Cruz

As she says, ‘Walk inwards always, inwards / oh! brilliant suns that come/ from the distant childhood’ (…)”.
(in Spanish) La Casa de Humo
“As Chantal Maillard describes in her ‘Kill Plato’, Mañas establishes a dialogue between the everyday world and the symbolic one, the mysterious and the real.

(in Spanish) Noveno Planeta
