Borges's first collection of poems, published by Borges at his own expense in 1923, was his first attempt to enter the literary world. The collection of poems mainly describes Buenos Aires, the birthplace of the writer. The city's mornings and dusk, urban areas and suburbs composed of low-rise buildings, its tranquility and sadness. Underneath the hometown complex is the tracing of family history and historical culture. Various specific things and characters seem to have an eternal appearance under the erosion of time.
