Fragments of an afternoon

About the Book

This book is a window in which the parameters of the reason get broken up to allow us to enter a world of dreams that leads us inside ourselves. An exquisite poet like María Victoria, essentially inclined to sing the great-small things of her homeland, has in her hands an arch of madness and dreams addressed to those who know that we are not a nation of gondolas, swans and storks but a nation of fishing boats, mangoes, and guavas.— Este libro es una ventana donde los parámetros de la razón se quiebran para dejarnos entrar a un ámbito de sueños y llegar al interior de uno mismo. Una poetisa exquisita como Maria Victoria, inclinada esencialmente a cantar las pequeñas-grandes cosas del terruño, tiene entre las manos un arco de locuras y sueños para lanzarlo a quienes saben que no somos de una nación de góndolas, cisnes y cigüeñas, sino de yolas, mangos y guayabas. Dr. Sócrates Barinas Cois
