We are children of summer, children of winter
Book Summary
A lyrical exploration of memory, the passage of time, and constantly transforming identity. Poet Norma Fierro Rolan constructs an emotional landscape where the seasons of the year become metaphors for life cycles. Through an intimate and reflective voice, the reader embarks on a journey through lingering memories, the losses that shape us, and the search for meaning in the everyday. A work that invites one to pause and observe the beauty of the ephemeral.
What is it about?
The work unfolds like a dated poetic diary, where each entry captures a moment of consciousness. The author plays with the duality between summer and winter as symbols of moods and stages of life.

Poetry becomes a refuge where the personal becomes universal.
