The essay can be read as a poetical reflexion about the way in which some poets have tackled the subject about the house where they were born, as a space of deep significance. From the nostalgic evocation with which Joseph Brodsky remembers his home from the exile, passing by some records of Hebraic-Spanish poetry until reaching the heart breaking statements about the own places abandoned because of the exile in José Kozer's verses, the essay is committed to point to the marvellous power of writing to recover, even if only symbolically, all that was snatched in an implacable way by the passing of time.
