"Seven Steps Later" is a work halfway between essay and literary creation, in which he discusses how poetry has treated the essence of time, from the heartbeat or the ringing of the bell, to the days of the week, the seasons or the calendars.

Relying on the voices of writers and their own ideas, the author shows us a timeless and lyrical inventory of times.

The critic Antonio J. Ubero has said of this book: "This is an unclassifiable work because it is poetry, it is prose, it is essay and it is a serene look towards our reality as subjects of chronos".

The cycle is organized by the Area of ​​Debate, Thought and Social Commitment of the UMU, directed by María Cristina Guirao Mirón.
