Poemas de Don Pedro Hinojos, El Vizconde de Gandara, y quien fuera comparado con el ingenio espanol y monstruo de la naturaleza, el gran poeta Lope de Vega; porque en el vuelo lirico de la produccion poetica del Visconde de Gandara, no disonaba por mucho con la del fenix de los ingenios. La poesia de Don Pedro Hinojos y su vida misma se asemeja mucho a la de los bohemios franceses, o a la de Verlaine, el poeta Saggese, o acaso con la de Baudelaire, el poeta de la "Giganta".Caundo muere Don Pedro Hinojos, El Visconde de Gandara, se dijo en la prensa que habia muerto el ultimo bohemio chihuahuense, y que pudo haber tenido palafreneros que condujeran los caballos de la carroza de sus restos mortales.Ademas, en este libro, y midiendo todas las distancias, se incluye parte de la produccion poetica de su nieto Jose Luis Valerio Hinojos quien dice: Quien sabe de los dias de tristeza, de dolor, de desenganos? quien, sabe de las noches, del insomnio, de las horas de desvelo, que al artista le generan por haber el recibido el presente de la pluma, del papel, con los que plasma los mas puros sentimientos, las mas vivas emociones que le brotan, de su vasta inspiracion? Quien sabe del trabajo arduo y dedicado por armar los mas sublimes y profundos versos que conforman las estrofas de lo que sera, segun el, su maxima creacion? No, no es muy comun que cualquiera lo sepa, a menos que se indague, se investigue y se pregunte, por una de las mas hermosas tareas: La de ser poeta, la de ser compositor!
