Of the Womb and Eternity: Poems to My Mother Soledad Humeres

Varied are the reasons that can inspire someone to write about their mother; a relationship that has been, since time immemorial, a matter of profound reflection for many a writer. This book of poetry successfully combines real-life experiences with the notion of eternity, creating a beauty that both transcends the commonplace and settles in the soul of whoever chooses to read it. Thus, verse after verse, the reader is swept up by the intimacy that springs from each thought, each tiny detail, to recognize those feelings that reach beyond the pages where they are written. Reader and verse share a bond that goes right to the heart of each, since we too share in that deep contemplation of what the word 'mother' really means.
