Tejerás el destino / You Will Weave Destiny

Traveling and being transported to another place means experiencing different seasons and times. It is an essential part of Xánath Caraza's poetry. The feeling given by the pages of You Will Weave Destiny stems from the complexity of the images with which we are presented. These Nahuatl images and objects appear as offerings for our appreciation and to bring us closer to times that initially seem remote.

This collection is also a passionate homage to one of the women who made a difference in fifteenth century Tenochtitlan. Macuilxochitzin or Macuilxochitl was a poet born during the most prosperous period of the expansion of the Aztec civilization. Daughter of the royal advisor Tlacaelel and niece of the Tlatoani warrior Axayacatl. Her life and her texts are an example of the gender parallelism of pre-Hispanic Mexico where women had the same opportunities as men.
