Un pelo en la sopa

Este libro es una compilación de poemas de temática variada y de pequeño tamaño. La intención de los poemas en "Brevedades" es decir lo justo con las palabras correctas, en el momento preciso, sin fastidiar el pensamiento prolongando la lectura con redundancias.

Este libro contiene algunos poemas, reflexiones y pequeas historias que hablan de desamor o el dolor de perder a un ser querido. Algunos estn basados en mi vida, en mis sueos o en la vida de personas que me han conmovido con sus historias. A pesar de ser todos temas tristes no espero que se depriman al leer lo que escribo, por el contrario espero que valoren ms lo que tienen ahora y si ya no lo tienen entonces reflexionen para que cuando vuelvan a sonrer lo hagan con mayor satisfaccin.

Thunderweavers is a story of violent displacements in the lives of the most impoverished residents of southern Mexico, the Tzotzil Tzeltal campesinos. It deals with the...
