Com altres territoris catalans, el Baix Camp és i ha estat prolífic en el món de la creació literària. Aquest llibre n'és una demostració i té, alhora, la voluntat de ser una eina útil i atractiva, per al coneixement i la divulgació d'aquesta riquesa literària.Les quatre rutes literàries que proposa comencen a la capital, Reus, per recórrer a continuació les poblacions de la comarca cap a l'est, cap a l'oest i cap a mar. Les rutes ens passegen de bracet amb la literatura de diversos estils i èpoques, i la fan viure a partir dels mateixos elements i paisatges que l'han inspirada. El lector pot ser tant un viatger ocasional com un professor amb els seus alumnes.Com escriu en el pròleg el professor Josep Murgades, aquesta és «una contribució oportuna [...] per fer-nos (re)descobrir topants que, de vegades per pur automatisme, de vegades per cras desconeixement, restaven inexpressius al nostre voltant. I que ara cobren nova vida...».

L'obra poètica de Carles H. Mor pot suscitar reaccions diverses. A la recerca del sentit primigeni, a la recerca d'un llenguatge i d'una poètica que arrenca d'una tradició immemorial i sovint apartada de l'oficialitat, els seus textos apareixen com esclats de raó dins la follia dominant, com esclats de follia dins l'asèpsia imperant.Lliga totes les heterodòxies textuals i de pensament amb una tradició pròpia, arrelada a una literatura i a una geografia, a un paisatge. Un paisatge poblat per figures com Duchamp, Cravan, Sòfocles, Riba, Beckett, Pla, Marc i Turmeda entre d'altres.
