The project began as an open call for new and amateur writers who wanted to learn new poetic perspectives through a Mexico-Spain poetic collaboration with Proyecto Genoma Poético.

The primary objective of Mitoxix was not only to transmit the passion for poetic writing and to encourage the creative process, but to provide useful tools from professional perspectives that would direct the taste for the genre towards a grounded passion. The workshops, coordinated by Samantha Saavedra, were a key piece to achieve this development.

To teach them, writers and professionals with different profiles were considered, with the purpose of showing a small range of the poetic world, its techniques and styles.
The participants that appear in this edition are those who stayed from the beginning to the end. Five did it remotely and three in person.

The process took three years. Time in which the original idea underwent transformations and adaptations. A search in which the only objective was not to abandon the ship and continue breaking stone to carve other forms and find new paths.

It is highly gratifying to think that Mitoxix has been the vehicle for the transmission of an invisible energy that arises from the gut to transform itself into something tangible. We are proud to see this idea conceived not only because of the quality of the work that emerged from the experience, but also because of how nurturing it has been for all the parties involved who maintained their faith in an unusual idea that required patience and perseverance. .

For Mitoxix the cell is the poem. The poem as a cell must reproduce and divide its nucleus as a cyclical process to produce multiple cells that are initially identical but later result in differentiation.

Capturing individual growth through a collective process that crosses the Atlantic to show this literary plurality is invaluable. Having promoted this project and being able to materialize it, even when there were moments when it seemed impossible to move forward, is in itself an act of poetic salvation. "
