Thank you for gathering our voices into this shared constellation.
It is a rare and tender thing to witness art and poetry traveling across borders, breathing in many languages yet speaking the same quiet truth.
To know that forty-two countries have placed their colors, their rhythms, their longings into one book feels like standing inside a bridge made not of stone, but of pulse and light.
I am honored to have my words woven into this tapestry where image and poem lean toward one another.
Alexsandra Vujisic, Montenegro

L'arte incontra la poesia, abbracciando la pace. Al progetto che ha coinvolto 42 Paesi dei cinque continenti, evidenzia come l'arte e la poesia possano esprimere, in un'unica voce corale, la forza dell'unione tra i popoli. Un progetto parallelo è stato guidato in Spagna dall'editore José Luis Rubio Zarzuela e in Portogallo dall'artista/poetessa Cristina Maya Gaetano di Sinergia Criativa.
