Why Do You Cry? Take My Hand by Ericka Koehler
Why do you cry? Take my hand, I can hear you from the silence land. Tell me your sorrows, let them out, Let me be the one to help you shout. Tears fall like raindrops from your eyes, But with my support, you can rise. Together we’ll face the pain, And make the sunshine bright…

¿A quién le pertenece la luna de setiembre? by Ericka Koehler
¿A quién le pertenece la luna de setiembre? Pregunto al viento que sopla sin cesar La respuesta se pierde entre la niebla Mientras las hojas caen sin parar. Quizás sea de aquellos amantes Que bajo su luz se prometieron amor O tal vez de los poetas soñadores Que encuentran en su brillo inspiración. ¿Será acaso…

The Power of yours Words by Ericka Koehler
The power of your words is a force untold A weapon for good, or so we’re told With just a whisper, a thought expressed You can change a heart, or lay it to rest. Your words can lift up or tear down Create a smile or make one frown They can comfort a soul in…

You’ll live Forever by Ericka Koehler
You’ll live forever if someone remembers you, It’s a truth that’s been spoken anew, For when our bodies return to dust, Our memories linger, never to rust. You’ll live on in the stories we tell, In the photos and mementos, we keep so well, In the laughter and tears that we share, In the moments…

From Oral to Visual Communication: “Manco Capac & Mama Ocllo Story” by Ericka Koehler
When I was a child, the first stories I heard were from my maternal Peruvian grandparents. I remember that I heard the story of “Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo.” This tale mentions that the god Inti (It means “sun” in Quechua language) ordered his children to find a place to found the Inca Empire. And…

Julie Otsuka: “Diem Perdidi” by Ericka Koehler
This story is very interesting, and I believe one of the few that I have seen narrated in the second person. Generally, the stories I read are in first person or third person. I also have a tendency to write in those grammatical persons. So, reading a story written in the second person is something…

ZZ Packer: «Brownies» by Ericka Koehler
I believe the characters are well-developed in the story. They are part of the group, and it is clear since an early time that they are the leaders of the group. For example, the text says, “She wore enormous belts that looked like the kind weight lifters wear, except hers were cheap metallic gold or…
