Echoes of the Muse is written by Sylvia Elia Vargas Carvajal.
This book represents a dream from the feelings of a young girl who has grown into a mature woman.
Through the expression of her deepest concerns and sensations, Sylvia channels the emotions of a weeping heart striving to reach the sky and grasp a handful of stars.
The poems in this collection weave together a tapestry of thoughts and feelings, drawn from both fictional and non-fictional experiences.
Written in three languages, English, bilingually (Spanish and English, or Spanglish), and Spanish, this compilation promotes the beauty of Sylvia’s identity as a bilingual speaker.
She advocates for bilingual and dual language education by utilizing culturally relevant literature supported by authentic, data-based resources.
