It was a privilege to receive the philosopher and poet Chantal Maillard, who offered us the poetic reading Dar a la caza alcance. She read us some fragments of her book La mujer de pie (Woman Standing) and also revealed some of the main keys to introduce us into her poetic world. Maillard is one of the most relevant Spanish language poets on the current scene, author of a reflective work and great depth, strongly influenced by Eastern philosophy. It was a real pleasure to hear her poems in her own voice. Her blunt verses left no one indifferent.
