los burros caminan al azar, husmeando las hojas de pasto.

men heading out to the fields on mules with hoes.

El rico olor de la tierra en época de lluvia;
el fuerte aroma del humo de madera quemándose.

the redolent smell of a lingering woodsmoke.

'AZUCENA?

Buenos Dias! Receive greetings from Guerrero Mexico.
Our stories are part of a language learning process
that campesinas once used to teach themselves English.

Las novelas romanticas de Artcamp se originan en cursos
de aprendizaje del idioma involucrando ejercicios
con traducciones y ensayos literarios

The romantic novels of Artcamp originate in language training
courses involving translations and creative writing exercises.

Estas son historias verdaderas, transformadas por el arte, en las
cuales cada mujer se forma siguiendo los sentimientos de su corazon.

These are true stories, transformed by art, of the ways in which
every woman's destiny is formed by the movements of her heart.

Azucena es la Mexicana sigiendo a su corazon en el camino
a su destino, ... a donde quiera que este la lleve.

Azucena is the Mexican woman who followed her heart
on the road to her destiny, wherever that way leads.

This is an experimental literary process born in some translation
exercises associated with the language-learning courses of Mexican
village craftswomen - the early drafts were written in the 1990's.
Azucena is an epic love story; it is also a story about love itself.
