Book Cover & Preview Text
“LA HUELLA DE MI VERSO” and “NOSTALGIAS”. LA HUELLA DE MI VERSO Un estruendo tan sonoro tiene mi silencio diario que al evocar tu partida enmudece al dolor que grita en los confines del alma. Ay! Si mi verso pudiera transmitir lo que yo siento, un caudal de sentimientos que se atropellan por dentro. Tal vez mi verso no tenga el ritmo literario que merezca crítica benigna, o alabanza ligera, ni siquiera una mención. Pero a mi doliente queja basta y sobra esta razón: Son las huellas de mi alma, son vestigios del corazón. - NOSTALGIAS Impregnadas de silencio mis horas de soledad, inundados de vacíío

About the Book
Albeit modern times bring with it changes in lifestyle preferences, a great deal of people keep their predilection for reading, in this case, poetry. The author started to write verses and rhymes in Spanish at a very young age, adding later on poems in English, but it was not until her retirement that she decided to recompile everything for publication. In that regard, the author has tried to pour out on paper personal experiences on different topics such as the eternal theme of love, as well as nature and distant places, which beauty she accurately describes in verse.
