Aleph Magazine was born in Manizales in 1966 and has been uninterruptedly published for 53 years because of the joint efforts of his founder Carlos Enrique Ruiz and his wife Livia González. The magazine has allowed the construction of a network that includes poets, storytellers, novelists, essayists, painters, sculptors, and musicians from Latin America and Europe. Although 186 issues have circulated and its collection is complete in 13 Colombian and 13 foreign libraries, it is a poorly studied journal, maybe because it fits what Ana Teresa Martínez (2013) calls “province intellectuals: between the local and the peripheral”.
