We are all migrants in some way, but in a world where more and more of us must build a home away from home, all the overwhelming feelings associated with it make us wonder if anyone else feels the same- Complex emotions, loneliness in the midst of crowds, but also companionship in the most unexpected places, are some of the themes of Unrhymed texts from an expatriate heart, whose author is an Ecuadorian migrant in Germany looking to build a new life in a different hemisphere and culture. Although different, the new place shares with her place of origin the fact that both are part of a post-pandemic and dystopian world, where the generation of children who were promised they could be anything they wanted to be, today has adults in search of their own path, sometimes expatriated from their own childhood dreams.
