POETRY COLLECTION
AMPARO JARAMILLO-RESTREPO
This poetry collection is dedicated to my children and my
grandchildren in this summer of the year 2002, when I finally gathered
the courage and the time to finish the long and arduous task of
tracing my steps, the footprints of which were left in
disordered poems with different themes and styles.
Henceforth, this is the testimony of my long pilgrimage. The story of
my hopes, frustrations, happy moments, wonderment, nostalgia for my
homeland, my attempt to communicate not only with my children and
grandchildren, but with other poetry lovers around the world, hoping
that some of them may be able to read and enjoy my work.
Inevitably, these poems have been shaped by my teacher's soul, my life
as an incognito artist, and my condition as an immigrant, which
has marked me indelibly for good or for bad.
Norwalk, summer of the year 2002
