"Chile en haiku es un poemario único, provocador y lleno de originalidad, con imágenes que bien nos recuerdan el creacionismo de Huidobro. Un libro necesario para seguir entendiendo el complejo tejido de la cultura y la geografía de Chile". Max. G. Sáez

I am discovering the love that I have for myself. I am finding comfort in being alone. I can take all that time to better myself and my craft. Both entities I have mentioned are improving tremendously. I have made a lot of mistakes, yes. I have said a lot of things that I had no business saying, yes. Through those errors is where the true growth comes in. I'm glad that I was singled out, or not paid any attention to. It gave me all the motivation that I needed. Thank you.

«Cuando deseo memoria para evocar vuestras caras y la suerte se convierte en abismo mudo y ciego o carne sin sentimiento, cuando siempre, siempre es nada y en el cementerio juegan la vida contra la muerte. Y cuando el último tren llega desocupado, siento que la consciencia es retorno interior del universo en mí».
