En ese libro está expuesta mi vida, desde los 12 años que comencé y descubrí que la poesía eras la mejor manera de expresarme. Los 13 dibujos que encontraran en el mismo, son también míos. Estos reflejan mucho de mí, en momentos de mi vida sobre todo en la adolescencia, cuando ni el frio ni el calor parece satisfacernos. Se los recomiendo, los disfrutaran tanto, como yo al escribirlos.
Vendedor de espejos es la desgarradora poética de un hombre que una vez creyó en el tiempo que le tocó vivir. Este libro fue escrito en una época surta entre la realidad y el sueño. Quizá el sueño era el único asidero posible, porque nada más real que lo fabulado. ¡Cuánto tiempo sin memoria ha transcurrido! ¡Cuántas voces me han cortado el cuello! Clama, desgarrado el poeta. Y, a pesar de que afirma Quizás conciba libros, que es incurable desatino en esta época, no ha dejado de concebir la poesía, que es crear una nueva y vasta realidad.

Aniversario 27 de la investigación bioenergemal ['espiritual']. Patriarcas, profetas, Buda, Jesús, María, José y socios, lamas y Mahoma se disculpan con sus seguidores por el milenario engaño que han promovido. Todas las figuras religiosas se promueven parasitando sueños, provocando en el soñante escenas e imágenes favorables o desfavorables según a ellas les convenga. Sin este recurso, ellas no hubieran podido publicitarse. Dudas como éstas del Concilio Vaticano II quizá propiciaron el biocolapso ['fallecimiento'] de Juan XXIII. No obstante, este libro no es sobre las religiones, sino acerca de quiénes las figuras religiosas, y muchas personas más, fueron y son. ¡Información excepcional!
