Presentation

Poetry, as indicated by Bousoño, "is communication stablished by mere words of a knowledge of special nature. The psychic knowledge as a particular whole, as intuitive synthesis and only of the conceptual, sensorial and affective".

Nonetheless, we believe the poem sometimes imitate and sometimes expresses what occurs in the being´s soul, consists, furthermore, on a more or less evident flowing of conscious changing states through time.

No surprise Herder said that poetry was the mother tongue of humanity and in consequence, a book of poetry is the conclusion of millennia of search.

We believe, honestly, apart from other considerations than the strictly poetic, that today more than ever, we need men and women who propose passion, opening to the fullness of the unknown, who raise us of so much low flight, of so much fullness illusion in a world without horizons nor dreams, who rescue and propose with encouraging firmness the come back to the utopia, daring to build a world, through the word, the poetry, where freedom is possible, since life does not count the steps you have taken, but the footprints you have left.
