edit data

Lumey Contino (1985) is a Cuban-American writer, linguist, and academic. She subverts conventional perspectives with a laconic style rich in symbolism. She began writing at an early age, when she sensed that metaphors, like lit matches, were meant to be hurled into silence. Her compass toward nonconformity is a dark humor that never apologizes. Her books trace fractures in the everyday and leave behind an echo that lingers beyond the final page. She holds a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, a Master’s in Applied Linguistics (Translation Studies), a Bachelor’s in Foreign Languages, as well as an MBA and a Master’s in Business Administration and Management. Her published work spans poetry, narrative fiction, and academic research.

Quotes by Lumey Contino Capote (?)

“El pasado no atormentará mis pisadas.”
― Lumey Contino Capote, El sepulcro de los lobos

“¿Qué haré cuando llegue el fin de los tiempos, las patas no soporten mi peso y el Sol cuartee mis pupilas? ¿Qué sentiré si los gusanos abren surcos en mi pelo, las hojas se mezclan conmigo y las nubes riegan mis huesos? ¿Qué justificación tendrá el Universo para hacerme parte del camino? ¿Dónde está la victoria de quien ha logrado descifrar todas las caras de la Luna? ¿Acaso el ego es solo un instante de sentir pena por uno mismo, o el bien una misión de la conciencia, condenada al fallo desde el primer minuto? Nacimos el día de nuestro sepulcro, una vida, una muerte, colisionando al azar. La eternidad no extraña a nadie ni mide tu dosis de odio. Al menos queda el camino, siempre quedará el camino aullando a la Luna.”
