Set in the fictional town of Winesburg, Sherwood Anderson's quietly powerful masterpiece explores the hidden lives of ordinary people – most notably George Willard, a young reporter – as they struggle with loneliness, repression, and the haunting distance between inner truth and outward appearance.

Según Borges, su libro más íntimo. Veinticinco poemas y seis textos en prosa que reúnen sus temas más caros: la eternidad, los espejos, los tigres, el amor, el tiempo, los cuchilleros, lo que es frente a lo que pudo haber sido, la mitología, los clásicos, la noche y la evocación de la biblioteca de su padre, de la que sospecha nunca haber salido. Un volumen de versos no es otra cosa que una sucesión de ejercicios mágicos. El modesto hechicero hace lo que puede con sus modestos medios. Una connotación desdichada, un acento erróneo, un matiz, pueden quebrar el conjuro.

El volumen reúne cuarenta y cuatro poemas y prosas poéticas; entre ellos se encuentran los notables Alguien sueña «¿Qué habrá soñado el Tiempo hasta ahora, que es, como todos los ahoras, el ápice?», On his blindness «A los otros les queda el universo; a mi penumbra, el hábito del verso»., y Juan López y John Ward «Hubieran sido amigos, pero se vieron una sola vez cara a cara, en unas islas demasiado famosas, y cada uno de los dos fue Caín, y cada uno, Abel».
