57 - Silver Hills - Roxana Méndez - El Salvador - Poetry
What can save a girl from the horrors of war? The author Roxana Méndez tells us that she found refuge in poetry during the Salvadorian civil war. In this episode, we present two of the author’s poems that reflect the moment when a family is fleeing the armed conflict. In the comments, we reflect on one of the poems and talk about the poet’s life. We finalize the program with another poem called “Flying Machines.”
