Unveiling Secrets: Claudia Castro Luna Reveals the Hidden Story Behind The Flowers Along the Way
SR: You have written about your experience of growing up in a war-torn country through your poetry. Why did you want to write a memoir?
CCL: While working through the material of war I was writing in any which way it was coming to me. The memoir took twelve years to write. All through it, I was writing both poetry and prose. Some of the poems in my book Cipota under the Moon are long prose poems that address the civil war. I love these poems because they have a story arc and allow for historical material to show up. I kept playing with the story arc and was trying to tell the best story possible in whatever form it showed up.
