Science in Stanzas for Violeta

Coordinator: various authors, ACHIPEC Illustrator: Paula Bustamante 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)
