註釋

In The White book of the Dead, Álvaro Miranda portrays death, not as the tragedy of a definite farewell, but rather as a return to the memory of the dead that one carries within through the remembrance of the mundane: kitchen chores, school work, friendly conversations. The author shows a distinct and surprising use of language and imagery, that resembles that of the Caribbean's neo-baroque of the 20th and 21st century.With a refined sense humor and evocative language that transports the reader to the Caribbean and Latin American landscapes, Miranda resorts to historical figures and greek legends, bringing them into the contemporary household like ghosts.The Day of the Dead is one of Mexico's is celebrated with love and care through gatherings at the cemeteries open portal, allowing for the reunion with the dead. The author carried the memory of his dead when he wrote his first version in the Aztec capital in 2003.Many of the characters in the White Book don't realize they are dead, and there inlays the criticism against societies where armed conflict and warfare normalize the anonymity of the dead. The poetry book itself is the voice of a consciousness, denouncing a justice system which allows bullets to determine who deserves to go on and who should disappear forever.
