Epigraph:
Dijeron que un poema
debería ser menos personal
que eso de hablar de tú o de yo
es cosa de mujeres.
Que no es serio.
Por suerte o por desgracia
todavía hago lo que quiero.
-- Ana María Rodas
[They said that a poem
should be less personal
that talking about you or me
is a women's thing
Fortunately or unfortunately
I still do what I want] -
With an introduction by Lidia Falcón.
