José Lezama Lima murió el 9 de agosto de 1976, horas antes de que Fragmentos a su imánsaliese de la imprenta. Su viuda recibió un ejemplar de este libro, al llegar a su casa tras el entierro del poeta.Fragmentos a su iman es una coleccion de poemas intimos, armados en una tension entre lo cotidiano y lo trascendente; cercanos y, en cierto modo, coloquiales; tocados tambien por una humildad melancolica y por la sensacion intima del autor de que la muerte lo rondaba muy de cerca.Los poemas aparecen en orden cronologico, y abren, en una sucesion desconcertante, una nueva ruta en la poesia de Lezama. Son estrofas como esta, tomada del ultimo poema del libro, las que nos revelan un ultimo Lezama, con una voz poetica renacida:Tener cerca de lo que nos rodeay cerca de nuestro cuerpo,la idea fija de que nuestra almay su envoltura cabenen un pequeño vacio en la paredo en un papel de seda raspado con la uña.Aqui, los poemas suponen las ultimas piezas del puzzle que vienen a completar todo el cosmos poetico lezamiano. Nos sorprende de esta obra, la notable disminucion del hermetismo poetico y de la complejidad expresiva. Sin abandonar el impulso mistico y panteista de su primera epoca. Este libro parece surgir de una situacion biografica mas cercana.Lezama invoca en Fragmentos a su iman dos mundos: De un lado, la batalla por la vida cotidiana del escritor que se siente aislado en la Cuba de entonces. Del otro, la familia: su madre, Maria Luisa, su esposa, a quien esta dedicado el cuaderno, su hermana Eloisa y los amigos a quienes dedica poemas que son casi despedidas: Fina Garcia Marruz, Jose Triana, Reinaldo Arenas, Victor Manuel, Juan David, Virgilio Piñera, Luis Martinez Pedro, Reynaldo Gonzalez, Octavio Paz y Maria Zambrano. En opinion de Roberto Fernandez Retamar Fragmentos a su iman abre una nueva ruta en la poesia de Lezama:viene a demostrar que su poesia estaba viva; que la retorica lezamiana no habia podido aplastar al poeta genuino.
