In This is how my words breatheHilda Virginia Pérez Rodríguez weaves verses that breathe from both wounds and hope. Her voice, born in Venezuela and living in Spain, moves between memory and the denunciation of estrangement, between grief and desire, allowing the echoes of indigenous American cultures to coexist on the page with the vibrant rhythms of slam poetry and contemporary experimentation. Here, poetry becomes an act of resistance: it names orphanhood, borders, unrequited love, and the healing that is sought. Each poem is a mixed and rebellious territory, a space where the word asserts itself against oblivion and racism, reclaiming the right to speak and to feel whole.
