Subtitle
Nostalgias de Noviembre
Set in the borderlands, Nostalgias of November, Arturo Magaña Amaya’s first collection of bilingual poems, is a bridge from the struggle of our labor to the serenity of our memory, from the voices of our ancestors to the songs of the barrio, a migration from the desolation of deserts to the fertile fields of our eternal hope.
Basado en la frontera, Nostalgias de Noviembre, el primer poemario bilingüe de Arturo Magaña Amaya, es un puente entre la lucha de nuestro trabajo y la serenidad de nuestra memoria, entre las voces de nuestros antepasados y las canciones del barrio, una migración de la desolación de los desiertos a los campos de nuestra esperanza eterna.
