Ana Paula Mena presents at Casa de Las Tejerinas the poetry book ‘Alas infinitas’, a true story written in verse.

The literary event will take place on March 20, at 6:00 p.m., in the Alfonso Gil Alfonso Hall of the Casa de Las Tejerinas, with free access until full capacity is reached.

The City Council of Estepona informs that next Friday, March 20, at 18.00 hours, the Alfonso Gil Alfonso Hall of the Casa de Las Tejerinas will host the presentation of the book ‘Alas infinitas’ (From pain to flight: a true story told in verse), by local writer Ana Paula Mena.

This collection of poems has been in its first days of publication, record sales and, according to the author, “is an offering for those who have crossed the shadow and still believe in love, beauty and inner awakening”. ‘Infinite Wings’ is born of a profound transformation. With a spiritual and poetic language, the work captures the journey of a woman who, going through her shadows, manages to heal, open her wings and fly. Each poem is a seed of light that speaks of rebirth, of reconnection with the self and the certainty that, even in the midst of chaos, it is possible to find harmony and meaning.

As prologue of the book, Ana Paula Mena has counted on Waltraud Plank Arteaga, writer and German translator, wife of the late Spanish composer Ángel Arteaga; the epilogue is by Agustín Hervás Cobo, poet, writer and journalist based in Marbella; and Daniela Rojas, illustrator and graduate in Audiovisual Communication.
