  This book is a song to the magnificent Chilean artist Violeta Parra, sung not by poets or musicians, but by a scientist. Tenline stanzas, the verse form primarily used in Latin American poetry, are preferred by Violeta in her writings
  and in some of her most beautiful songs. The stanzas in the pages of this book describe deep passions.

  Rustic cover book, 20 x 20 cms., opaque couche 170 grs., 52 pages. 4/4, hot melt.

   Among roses and lilies
  a songbird sang
  as a wise caretaker
  of a thousand joys, a thousand sorrows

  But he carried chains
  that restricted his worth
  unable then to traverse
  the wide sky like a comet
  and then and there he asked Violeta
  permission to break out.

  (excerpt winning poem Violeta Liberadora, Alex Guerrero and Camila Rojas, teachers)
