Guáimaro, April 6th. — In the easternmost territory of Camagüey, many creators reaffirm their poetic vocation as well as their marked literary gift. Among the list of writers, the name of Miriam Estrada Medina stands out, a poet who loves children and dreams that her works will never be missing on the nightstands of all those who awaken the touch of tenderness at home.
Her poems carry the grace of being admirable, inviting reflection, learning, and, most notably, receiving from them as a form of reciprocity the kiss of inspiration.
Mapucha, Titi y Mamita, Los amigos del Caroní, and El libro de los zunzunes are very well-crafted titles. Exploring them allows one to admire the noble qualities of the author who chooses to share the most sublime of messages.
The descriptions, anecdotes, and legends—both real and fictional—are beautiful, precise, and brief, validating the expression: verses have a soul, which is more than merely having life.
Tender and moving, the children's books born from Miriam Estrada Medina’s wit and imagination are presented. Her texts evoke, envelop, and declare themselves capturers of the liveliest interest. When opened to the first page, their notes and stories call readers to read relentlessly from start to finish, since children’s literature stands out for its style laden with freshness and an unparalleled ability to unite innocence with simplicity.
During these days in April, when Guáimaro celebrates the 47th edition of Culture Week, the inspiration behind this page attends the activities, dialogues, and shares her literary wisdom with everyone, reaffirming on every stage that her greatest work is forever dedicated to children.
