Only a rara avis with the sensibility of Lidice Megla (Villa Clara, Cuba, 1968) would have been able to harness the beast she carries within to echo the word towards the feminine gender. There, where its voices could have been lost in stories of emigration, forgetfulness, and courage were Lidice’s verses to bare its memory, absorbed it in the observation of those moments that suddenly change the meaning of the days. Author of the poetry books Tú la bestia (editorial Vitrales, Miami 2018, Totémica insular (editorial Letras al Viento, Miami 2019), Mujer sin paredes (editorial Voces de hoy, Miami 2020) and La oración que trae el viento (editorial Dos islas, Miami 2020) she has an extensive literary production that grows from the need to give herself in each poem. Her poetry emerges from a diachrony that does not respond to specific temporal spaces; in it the limits of time are blurred by using the memory as a living, current image, detonating the emotions that make up her personal story.
