Students from the creative writing workshop coordinated by CECYTE Plan Libertador teacher Lupita Bojórquez presented their fourth literary work, “Jardín de cartas rotas: Antología” (“Garden of Broken Letters: Anthology”).
As part of the Rosarito Art Walk 2025 festival held last weekend at the State Center for the Arts (CEART), talented CECYTE students unveiled their latest collection, showcasing their artistic voice and creative expression.
The anthology compiles poetic contributions from students who have attended the Saturday creative writing workshop led by acclaimed author Adolfo Morales Moncada, under Bojórquez’s coordination. The young writers explored life’s reflections through a variety of literary narratives.
Bojórquez recalled that the project began in 2019 after meeting Morales Moncada, who quickly became both a mentor and source of inspiration.
“The Writers Project was born in 2019 when I was fortunate to meet my friend and teacher, Adolfo Morales Moncada,” Bojórquez explained. “I invited him to speak with my students at CECYTE, in a garden under the trees. He shared his story and what it means to be a writer. With his hypnotic voice, he captivated all of us. That’s when the students began to feel inspired to write—and Adolfo simply said, ‘Let’s get to writing.’”
The group published their first literary notebook, Universo de las palabras (“Universe of Words”), in 2019. Activities were paused in 2020 due to the pandemic but resumed in 2021. In 2022, they completed their second book, Realidades más allá del basurero (“Realities Beyond the Dump”), followed by Matices de una mente joven (“Shades of a Young Mind”) in 2023. Their latest volume, Jardín de cartas rotas, is currently in print and will soon be available for purchase.
During the book launch, Bojórquez shared her vision for Rosarito as a future literary hub.
“We are working toward a future where Rosarito becomes a cradle of writers,” she said. “We’re fortunate to have independent authors who write everything from a simple poem born of insomnia to verses inspired by Rosarito’s magical sunsets.”
