Translated by Elizabeth Torres

RED PRESS, Copenhagen, 2024

“The Resonance Within” (La resonancia interna) emerges as a pivotal anthology that encapsulates the profound narra:ves of five La:n American women, whose voices interlace
to form a strong poetry collec:on rich in tes:mony and resilience. Through the evocative medium of poetry, Ángela García, Margarita Drago, Mónica González Velázquez, Lalo Barrubia, and Pita Ochoa, extend an invitation into their worlds — worlds marked by the indelible scars of displacement and war, the pervasive specter of femicide, and the harrowing experiences of political imprisonment. Yet, within these pages, the reader discovers not only the portrayal of struggle and affliction but also a resilient undercurrent of hope, courage, and an unwavering spirit of resistance.

Each poet, with her unique voice and perspective, contributes to a collective narrative that speaks volumes about the complexities of agency, identity, and survival in the face of adversity.

Translated Elizabeth Torres, “The Resonance Within” serves as a bridge across cultures and languages, ensuring that the poignant messages of these poets reach a broader audience. This book is the second of a poetry collection released by Red Press in collaboration with Versopolis, with the support of Creative Europe.
“The Resonance Within” is an essential read for those who seek to understand the nuances of Latin American struggles through the intimate and transforma:ve lens of poetry. It is a book that resonates with the voices of its authors, inviting readers to listen, reflect, and find their own resonance within its pages.
