Maria Rosa Lojo's poetic work is a true project of ontological inquiry, that is, a way of exploring the relation of humans with their own being-in-the-world and with what is transcendental. In her first two works, Visiones (1984) and Forma oculta del mundo (1991), the speaker is a medium-poet who is placed between two worlds, who plays the role of being the link to mystery, and who shapes a series of visions that swing from the kairos of momentary revelation to final helplessness, a state that characterizes the tone of both anthologies.
