The Introduction reads: 'Being a group of migrants, and thus inheritors of a certain emptiness in our hearts, the Muses have wished to compensate us by granting us the gift of being able to express our desire for writing, be it in the form of poetry or prose - and, as you may appreciate, here is a sample of the wealth we possess and which we intend to continue publishing in the not too distant future' (4).
-
Each poetry or prose text appears in Spanish first, followed by an English translation.
