Marily A. Reyes (MAR)

Reflexiones/Reflections is a collection of narrative, poetry, and editorial fragments.   Two books in one, both Reflexiones and Reflections contains original thoughts with very little translation from Spanish to English or English to Spanish.

This unique collection of writings is exceptionally thoughtful and provocative.   An interesting concept for bilingual readers, Reflexiones/Reflections is a beautiful and touching collection that will touch readers not only with the soothing grace of the Spanish language but also with the power of the English word.

Reyes writes, "I am only the reflection, the reflection that together we give of being one nation, one language, one race, one politics, one people, one religion, one love… Art."
