Fervent Manifesto by Mercedes Villalba defines the current moment as a time of resistance. Villalba draws inspiration from nature's resilience for our own resistance. Observing fermentation and fungi as examples of how every surface "overflows with life and time," she admires nature's refusal to remain still.

In Truth, It Was Terrible explores both Western and non-Western notions of time-space by taking a closer look at calendars and verb tenses. It includes the poem "What Is Here Today?", a reflection on calendars and colonial traumas. Originally written in Portuguese, the text features words in Kaqchikel, one of the many Mayan languages spoken today. The essay and poem were developed during the Lastro Central America residency in Guatemala in 2015, and were first published in Brazil in 2017. They have also been part of live presentations by the author at art exhibitions in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. This is the first Spanish edition.

About — We are an independent publishing house that was born in 2018 in Barcelona. No Libros is a reflection on the excess and overproduction of books and texts, the saturation of publications that has occurred in the last decade. It reflects on quality, the current need to produce more, and the advocacy for sharing, recycling, quoting, duplicating, imitating, pirating, and hacking. In the face of large bookstore chains, distributors that increasingly demand higher percentages, print-on-demand (PoD), poet robots, Amazon Mechanical Turk, ChatGPT, the precarity of the market, and interconnected systems that make designers, typographers, publishers, or even writers less necessary, experimental publications, amateur graphics, the supply of paper, and the rescue of artisanal printing processes are gaining importance. No Libros is a slow, tired publishing house, doing the best it can. Our project is collaborative. We seek original, critical content that pushes the boundaries of text and image, resulting in unique works, primarily from Latin authors.
