Mariposa de Fuego: A Journey to Empowerment
Áurea Maria Altamirano
My poems speak about my journey of life through my explorations, processing of uncomfortable feelings, and stories never told from my childhood to my adulthood in order to find my path of healing: Dismembering and taming my fears to find my cure. I took the decision to become conscious of all of my traumas after a strong period of depression after my father’s death. I still have a long walk to go but now I am more conscious about it, so I can pursue my dream of owning myself. My journey goes through my processes; loss of friends in childhood, the influences of the life of women in my family on me, my feminism perspective, grief about my relationship with my father, my motherhood and being a Latina, as well as relationship issues and discovering what is what I am looking for in life. The book could not leave behind my native language, so there are sparks of Spanish all over the poems, and it contains my own artwork and also photography in collaboration. I hope you enjoy accompanying me in this bumpy journey.

Mariposa De Fuego: Un Camina Al Empoderamiento
Áurea Maria Altamirano
Mis poemas hablan de mi viaje por la vida a través de mis exploraciones y el procesamiento de varios de mis sentimientos incómodos, e historias nunca antes contadas desde mi infancia hasta mi edad adulta. Después de un fuerte periodo de depresión tras la muerte de mi padre, lo único que quedaba enfrentar y dominar mis miedos; desmembrarlos, desarticularlos para encontrar mi cura. Tomé la decisión de escuchar a mis traumas, pero también a mi niña interior y aprender de su sabiduría. Aún hay un largo camino por recorrer, pero ahora soy más consciente de ello, para poder perseguir mi sueño de ser dueña de mí misma. Mi viaje pasa por mis procesos; la pérdida de amigos en la infancia, las influencias de la vida de las mujeres de mi familia en mí, mi perspectiva del feminismo, el duelo por la relación con mi padre, mi maternidad y ser latina, así como los problemas de pareja y descubrir qué es lo que busco en la vida. El libro no podía dejar atrás la lengua de mis padres, así que hay chispazos de Quechua en algunos poemas, y también de inglés, porque no puedo negar que también forma parte de mí. Contiene ilustraciones mías y también fotografías en colaboración. Espero que disfrutes acompañándome en este accidentado viaje.
