Contemporary Female Poetry Anthology: Virginia Fernández Collado (Coordinator) - Foreword by Concha García, Winner of Jaime Gil de Biedma and Lady of Baza Award. Kati Fund (Spanish Edition)

In this anthology, we give a space to the silent and often mutilated poetic voice of women, with several poets from different horizons of this loveless world. This anthology is a space of interculturality, where women from various countries will combine their voices in a fruitful dialogue. In this space, the reader witnesses a dialogue, a declaration of intent through poetry. Each poet makes their unique voice, their sensibility, heard through their own language.

Today, in a world in crisis of values, and from a feminine and poetic perspective, women are speaking out to offer a view on love, the world, and death. Love is the beginning of all life and the foundation of all relationships with oneself and with others. Women bring life into the world and determine our relationship with it. Death takes us out of the place where love has put us; a place where everything has been envisioned from a masculine and phallocentric point of view. Knowledge, possession, and power - the pillars of all society - are conceived with a male gaze, focused on him in many parts of the world.

In issue 358 of the magazine Les Temps Modernes, Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir published a special issue on the female condition: "Petites filles en éducation" in 1976. Several women participated in this issue discussing the femininity and the condition of girlhood conditioned to be a woman according to societal norms.

What viewpoint does the woman - this ignored, frustrated, and reduced to a utilitarian instrumentalization perspective - have on love, the world, and death? In this book, verse by verse, it expresses a viewpoint that does not exclude men, but includes women. At times, the voices of these poets will make you feel like you are walking through a place full of broken glass, while at others, it will remind you that there is still hope.
