Splintered Dreams, Blades of Truth, Shafts of Sunlight

"Splintered Dreams, Blades of Truth, Shafts of Sunlight" is an autobiography in poetry, not an autobiography of dates, events, and achievements, but of the inner life - an autobiography of the soul. Throughout all the vicissitudes of life, Dr. Enriqueta Cartagena Mayuga's hopes remain constant: "there is no such thing as a nullified life, no such thing as charred hope . . . " This volume follows in timely fashion the admonition of Horace in his Art of Poetry. It suits Dr. Mayuga's genius well. This book is a poetic account of one woman which resonates with the thoughts and feelings of women and men of our common humanity. This volume, in my mind, surpasses her earlier works."
