In the same way that frogs or glow-worms are the first to manifest signs of pollution in the natural environment, words suffer as a result of corruption in the socio-political sphere. In his work as journalist, writer of fiction, poetry or essays, he is consistent in his role as custodian of all sensitive creatures; his writings document historical damage and alert us to potential future harm to our natural, linguistic and political eco-systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Rivas is, without doubt, the most important figure (and the best known) in contemporary Galician literature  ...].
