The poetry of Chona Madera (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 1894-1980) is intimate and nostalgic. Among her works stand out El volcado silencio, Mi presencia más clara, Los contados instantes and Continuada señal. She made poetry her profession and art the matter to which she subjected her days. In her verses, she expresses memories of childhood, sadness for those who have gone, love, or the impossibility of fulfilling her dreams.

"My illusions went back along the paths they joyfully took, not counting on destiny."
