Preface of Hidden in Childhood
“If you open the pages of this poetry collection, you will be mesmerized by the talent of the contributors, and by the range of stylistic approaches they use to recreate the world of childhood. It must be said from the beginning that this is not a poetry collection for children. The pages you will read memorialize the beauty and magic of childhood โ remembrance of love and fairytales โ as well as its ugliness โ abuses, poverty โ that unfortunately still exist in our world. Some of the authors of the poems included in this anthology were brave enough to talk about the pain they endured in childhood. I salute all contributors: those who tell the world that childhood is love, and those who still bear the wounds of a difficult childhood…”

Thank you so much Mike! Gabriela and I followed each other in my very early day of blogging (2018) and she is an inspiration to me. I am so glad I get to be included in her first anthology of her publishing house.
