Ahora más que nunca, Latinoamérica se debe unir y resistir la tiranía. Solo la unidad podrá hacer de cada país un lugar más fuerte, independiente y próspero.

Anyone know of any upcoming virtual creative writing workshops (fiction, poetry, CNF, others) or other programs that you can recommend and are not too expensive?

long after the rains have stopped

Adrienne Rich
For the Dead I dreamed I called you on the telephone to say: Be kinder to yourself but you were sick and would not answer The waste of my love goes on this way trying to save you from yourself I have always wondered about the leftover energy, water rushing down a hill long after the rains have stopped or the fire you want to go to bed from but cannot leave, burning-down but not burnt-down the red coals more extreme, more curious in their flashing and dying than you wish they were sitting there long after midnight

Beautiful poem! Sad that humanity has not moved forward in many ways.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."
