It is possible to survive a crisis and move forward. We have the strength and the resilience to find and create a new version of ourselves and become a light to others.

Catalina Rincon

Catalina P. Rincón, born and raised in Ecuador, is a writer and educator in Connecticut, United States. She also is an ECE-certified instructor at/ with the University of Connecticut (UConn). Her passion for poetry and literature was seeded during her high school years at Colegio Nacional Veinticuatro de Mayo and influenced by her teacher and novelist, Eugenia Viteri de Vera, a pioneer in introducing feminist themes to Ecuadorian fiction and honored with the Rosa Campuzano National Prize. This love for writing continued to grow and flourish during her undergraduate and graduate work at Southern Connecticut State University, where she earned a Master of Science in 2000.  Catalina Rincón also served as the President and Secretary of The Organization of Latin American Students (OLAS) during her years at SCSU. In 1995 her poetry was published in the Department of Foreign Languages magazine: “La Otra Voz.” Informal writing has been part of her life that has taken beautiful shapes and colors throughout the years. This passion has co-joined the walls of the classroom and literature.

 

Her experience as a Spanish teacher in her state's public educational system for the last 26 years has allowed her to interact with and learn from the human condition's changes, challenges, and achievements. The resilience that human beings show through their walk in this world is an important ingredient in achieving our goals and dreams that were once lost. This literary work is the product of a maturation process in the face of the constant changes we must all overcome at different stages of life. The author hopes that this literary work inspires the reader to propel, no matter where they are at this moment in life. 

"Dear Catalina,
I am reminded by your personal reflection, "A Good Man", of a book written by Robin Wall Kimmerer the title of which is "Braiding Sweetgrass - Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teaching of Plants" which has been described as "a hymn of love to the world". Robin Wall Kimmerer has an understanding of the natural world and our relationship to it and in it and with it which, unfortunately, has been lost or is completely unknown by many of us. Her writings are gentle and kind, a wealth of profound knowledge and personal experience, exacting and inescapable and valuable to all who will take the time to listen.
"A Good Man" reminds me of all of this.
Well done."
Bob Hutchings

 

 

Sabiduría: poems and reflections on life by Catalina Peñafiel Rincón is a Regal Summit Book Award winner. It is a well-written poetry collection that speaks to the heart of what it means to be human. The book is presented in both English and Spanish and flows between personal reflections and poetic moments. The poems capture struggles, joys, and the strength that carries us through.

Rincón writes about the pain of forgetting who we are in “Infidelity of the Soul” or honoring the tenderness of a parent’s touch in “Old Hands”. Rincón invites the reader to slow down and reflect. Her words are simple but honest. It is vulnerable, and unafraid to name the hard things: loss, change, disappointment, and the longing for peace.

Readers will enjoy themes full of gratitude and love for family, for teachers, and life. In the face of grief or global crisis, there's always hope.......Sabiduría reminds us that healing is possible, and that we all share struggles. Joy can be found in reflection & connection  This book of poetry feels like a conversation with a wise friend.  A friend who sees your pain, and also your potential. This poetry collection is highly recommended for anyone in search of comfort, and a deeper sense of self.
