Rossy Lima offers us a migration and migrant metaphysics, a river of personal and collective speakers, a labyrinth of voices, a woman serpent, of skulls and coyotes, an ongoing conjure of voices and lives of limbs and multi-tracks of birth-death, of borders and borderlessness. This is a prism of outside-inside, in-between, an always shifting set of reassessments—re-castings, memory and forecast—the elixir and poison of migrant exile without exile.Notice the urgent notes in this collection—perhaps in the timbres of a border mermaid, a skinned figure, almost formless, Cortazar’s axolotl, a half-amphibian, half human, a migrant existence, always in rapid, unknowable, transparent, brutal change. A magnificent set of poems, in a most appropriate time. Lima is a lyrical warrior crossing.

When reading Waterpath you will realize that every poem is a flower bud with life of its own where the fine line of “man, woman, blood and earth” is lost. I am also convinced that at the end of this poetry book you will coincide with the Mexican-American writer Rolando Hinojosa Smith regarding Rossy Evelin Lima’s poetry and possibly express the same sentiment, “I read the poems aloud and discovered a new voice in Hispanic literature”.

Poetry calls for understanding and vision; in her work, the poet Lima proves her worth on both counts, understanding and dominating the material. Her poetic vision is clear, unadulterated, and, just as important, focused. I read her poems aloud and discovered a new voice in Hispanic literature.
-Rolando Hinojosa Smith, Mexican-American Writer and Critic

Los textos de Rossy Lima se apoderan de una temática fronteriza, y establecen no sólo un canto de denuncia, sino de ancha solidaridad. La autora no pretende asumir la voz de comunidades enteras pero sabe sí que al iluminar tan dolorosas realidades surge otra forma de conocimiento, de posibilidad de aproximaciones solidarias, de gestación de nuevas opciones esteticas.
-Saúl Ibargoyen, Uruguayan Writer

Rossy Evelin Lima, Vanessa Torres, Erika Said y Miriam D. Maldonado elevan un canto a cuatro voces para conjurar los elementos Agua, Tierra, Agua y Fuego.

​Poesía descarnada, llena de ternura y riqueza crómatica; un canto al amor y a la solidaridad. Cada una, desde su registro bien particular, eleva su voz y abre las ventanas a un mundo de posibilidades. Un libro fácil de leer y muy difícil de olvidar: Fuego del aire.

The Antología 2016 (FeIPoL) is a poetry anthology that gives testimony of a united Latino community and includes some of the greatest and most relevant Latino poets of our time, such as: the United States Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera, Lucha Corpi (U.S.), Saúl Ibargoyen (Uruguay), Antonieta Villamil (Colombia), Armando Alanís Pulido (Mexico), Mayra Santos Febres (Puerto Rico) and Julián Herbert (Mexico), among others. 

The Antología 2016 (FeIPoL) is much more than a collection of poetry; it is a symbol of the triumph of kindness over hostility, of joy over bitterness, of fraternity over alienation. It is a generation of artists who have decided to raise their voices to bring forth the change they wish to see.

The last few years have seen several incidents of outrage from the people and now we must respond the best way possible, through our writings and artwork. This anthology is dedicated to the atrocities of the shootings of black and brown people to the injustices that the refugees have encountered when fleeing war-torn countries, to the rise of anti-Latin@ sentiment that has led to the banning of Mexican American and Ethnic Studies, to the banning of brown bodies through xenophobic legislation, and the constant and complacent racism against anything Middle Eastern or Asian, to the complete disregard to indigenous rights in the name of corporate progress.
