The poetry of María Baranda is a haunting homage to the natural world, transcendent in scope, attentive to the particular, and acutely attuned to the mystery of being. It draws on epics such as the Aeneid and Beowulf, as well as the mystical verses of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and writers who engage the landscape of shore and sea.

María Baranda's poetry is a captivating exploration of the natural world, reaching beyond the boundaries of human understanding. With a profound reverence for nature, she delves into the voices of wind, wings, night, day, and, most notably, water, seeking to inhabit their essence. Her verses are a testament to the profound longing and grief inherent in the human experience, as she questions the nature of God and the wonder of being a body full of blood. Drawing inspiration from epic works like the Aeneid and Beowulf, as well as the mystical verses of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Baranda weaves together a tapestry of the finest poems from one of Mexico's most influential and innovative writers. This sweeping collection showcases her ability to blend the ancient and contemporary, creating a literary event that is both fierce and profound.
