VFI/OUT join Zonta Northampton at their monthly meeting. VFI/OUT members will read from their own work and from VFI's Anthology WOMEN WRITING IN PRISON.

 

“Porque ella se olvidó de ser hija y yo quizás he olvidado el ser madre

Dentro de mí hay algo que me dice, “No, ella te espera.”

Solo es que tiene que esperar que la luna se convierta en sol y el sol en luna.”

 

“…Because she forgot how to be a daughter

And I have perhaps forgotten being a mother.

Within me is something that says to me, “No, she waits for you.

The only thing is that she must wait until the sun becomes moon and the moon becomes a sun.”
