Set against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War, this collection captures the profound impact of conflict on civilians. Written in Valencia amidst bombings and hardship, the prose poems reflect Carmen Conde's deep empathy for the sacrifices made by young soldiers while also revealing the horrors faced by those at home. Initially published thirty years later, these powerful works highlight Conde's struggle as a pro-Republican intellectual who had to write under pseudonyms, showcasing the resilience and voice of women during wartime.
