This volume seals the poetic work of Francisco Martínez Negrete. Divided into five sections that go from loving ecstasy to the basements of spite and illness, and with an emotional and crude language that accounts for an endearing but fierce reality. The poems of "What epidemic of roses" are an ode to the fragility of the transitory and an elegy for lost love. It is the testament of a poet who always lived on the edge.
