It took me ten years to collect all these texts dealing with the paradoxism, since I came to America, reading more than one thousand envelopes stuffed with manuscripts. They followed me at my address, often changed upon my job, in Phoenix and Tucson (Arizona) or in Gallup (New Mexico). I tried to answer each letter sending information on the paradoxism and also paradoxist diplomas where it was the case. Now I congratulate all these 100 writers who contributed to this anthology with poems, prose, dramas, essays, letters. This is an international fan on the dimensions of the paradoxism, twenty years after its setting up....
