The inspiration for this collection came from personal experiences as well as experiences that are not my own. I decided a little over a year ago that I wanted to share my own collection of poems in the hopes that they could bring comfort to whomever is looking for it. ![]() Once you see that someone understands your feelings, suddenly you’re not alone anymore. Therein lies the beauty and surprise of poetry. It’s hard to imagine that anyone out there could possibly feel the same things that you do, to the depths that you feel them. Discovering poems that closely reflected the thoughts in my own head became reassuring in a time when I felt severely misunderstood. I started reading poetry as a way to comfort myself through spells of depression. We see our lives through the words of a poet when we are incapable of expressing ourselves. I believe that we read poetry to relate to the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() María Fernanda Ampuero nació en Guayaquil, Ecuador, en 1976 y estudió literatura. ‘Y si un perro, que es un ser de poco entendimiento, sigue fielmente a quien le acaricia la cabeza y el lomo, ¿cómo no ibas tú a seguirlo a él hasta el mismísimo infierno? ❼ómo no ibas a hacer hasta lo imposible por hacerlo feliz, por ayudarlo a cumplir sus promesas?

In a time like ours when politics has reached a zenith of perfection, we might assume that excellent political leadership is easy – since our political leaders are so excellent, and make excellence look so easy.ĭepressing sarcasm aside, Plato has a lot to say about producing not only a just state (as well as a just soul), but a virtuous ruler.
