We’re thrilled to have Claudia Ferradas posting a poem on the site. What a poem as well. Dark and troubled, full of yearning and love; we glimpse a community in fear, the threat to the family. The message of books as symbols of freedom, or as threats to an ‘ordered’ society is not a new one but it is a message that we keep forgetting, it seems.
Claudia’s apparently simple, direct style goes straight to the heart but each time you read it another layer appears. How complex simplicity turns out to be!
Reactions, please …………….

Very moving. Is it possible to have a recording of this poem being read by the poet?
