"Shifting clouds in heaven's eye, the jacarandas are whispering strokes of calligraphy on the page of desire. In this book, the poet listens to them speak, alone or in unison, watches them dance, pursues their fragrant metamorphoses, hears in their music the memory of migrations, and interprets their messages with lucidity. This is an intimate book that inspires a collective utopia: a yearning transformed into the engagement of a city worthy of its jacarandas. A seminal book for its readers."–Aurelio Asiain "This book invites us to pause and contemplate the trees, the sky, the wind, the ground and the roots below, and to consider the rhythm of words, our embraces, desire, and the purity of poetry."–Sandra Lorenzano "This volume describes the jacaranda trees of Mexico City - their beauty, their history, their biological features, and the long list of literary admirers–as a point of departure for meditating on nothing less than the human condition."–Nicolás Medina Mora Pérez
