"If I forget you" Collection of poems and love letters

Inspired in Truman Capote’s short story “If I forget you”, this collection of poems and love letters have been written by 1st year Bachillerato pupils as a literary assignment for the English class . As the teacher of these extraordinary amateur young artists, I would like to thank all of them for the effort made in creating such mature pieces of writing showing deep artistic sensitivity and a mastery of the English language. That was not an easy text nor were the tasks demanded, but the results prove that in a time when AI is bringing a grim prospect looming over artists, there is still hope for ART.
