22 Poems of August Hugging the Paradox is Ana’s debut poetry collection — a journey through love, intimacy, illusion, society, devotion, and alignment with the divine will. Written in English but born of a Spanish-speaking heart, these poems carry both vulnerability and searching. They are prayers, critiques, confessions, and offerings: fragments of the tone that embraces the author’s life in this moment. Whether read in sequence or opened at random like an oracle, these verses invite the reader to pause, reflect, and perhaps find a mirror of their own inner journey.
