Letters to Spring collects the letters Shantí Vera wrote to her sister, the anthropologist and human rights defender Nadia Vera, who unjustly lost her life on August 1, 2015, after fleeing Veracruz due to threats against her. In Letters to Spring, Nadia returns transformed into a leaf, sea, moon, horizon. The book articulates a reflection of profound poetic power that teaches us to navigate pain and honor life when the path to hope seems to have closed.

I know you are here, in every word, in every sensation, in the ambiguity of the days, in all the coffees and all the mezcals, in the guanacaste trees and in all the jacaranda trees, in the little paths in the south, and in the little roads in the north, in the lakes, in the sea, in the jungle, in the forest, in the arrival of spring, in all the beers and in the soursop shakes.
