Lanzamiento del poemario Impetu de Bouria Dimitrova

Es un placer invitar a todos los amantes de la poesía al lanzamiento del poemario "Impetu" de Bouria Dimitrova, quien nos deleita con una poesía llena de magia escrita en español a pesar de que su idioma materno es el búlgaro.

El prólogo es del poeta, escritor, científico y empresario Francisco Ucán-Marín.

La carátula del libro es una obra de la artista Irene Abedrapo.

Ha sido muy satisfactorio para la Editorial Mapalé publicar este libro. Es emocionante ver el buen manejo de nuestro idioma en una de las formas literarias más complejas como es la poesía. Y más aún sabiendo que el español es uno de los 5 idiomas que Bouria ha aprendido. Bouria Dimitrova ama el español, lo siente, lo vive y este poemario es un reflejo de ello.

El Club Casa de los Abuelos de Ottawa, de donde Bouria es miembro, será nuestro anfitrión.

Los esperamos!

I have been working in recent months on an extraordinary book to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Nobel Women’s Initiative: When We Are Bold: Women Who Turn Our Upsidedown World Right edited by Rachel Vincent. The foreword is by Brené Brown, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Rising Strong.

This unique book is a collection of 28 short essays by notable women writers and thinkers from around the world. Each essay is an intimate portrait of a woman peacemaker or feminist who has influenced and inspired the author's own work and life. 

Join us at the official book launch on September 27th, 2016 at the Ottawa International Writers Festival. You can get your tickets at http://bit.ly/WhenWeAreBold and join authors Madeleine Thien, Aja-Monet and Casey Camp-Horinek to celebrate this work and participate in an evening of fascinating conversation with Nobel peace prize laureates Jody Williams (USA) and Tawakkol Karman (Yemen). 

If you can't go to the book launch but would like to purchase this amazing book you can pre-order it at Editorial Mapalé.​

Feel free to help us spread the word.
