About the Artists
“I write because it is a privilege I have earned. Ever since I was 12 years old I read poetry and loved it. One day I embraced the pen and spilled ink on any loose sheet of paper I could manage to find. I am sadden by many things in my life, I am battling many obstacles and surviving on a daily basis, I tend to vent and create social, cultural and educational awareness thru some f my work. I have much to learn and much to develop. For I am still a young writer and hope to one day reach my goal.” –Emmanuel Ayala
Miguel Marzana’s poems and short stories have been published in Contratiempo magazine and have been included in the poetry anthologies “Susurros,” “Ciudad Cien” and “Cantologia” for the Guild Literary Complex. He is the author of “Descomposiciones,” a collection of his early works of poetry.
