Depending the country and the “places” you visit she could be very popular, it’s like I talk about Humberto Ak’abal’s poems here, maybe 1 or 2 person know him here, but if I go to other forum about literature in America there are like 15-60 that know who is him.

Btw he is my favorite writer jaja he writes in Kiche (one of the several languages that our people speaks here) and Spanish (he translate his own works)

I’d like to read some of his poems then. If there are any in English.
Maybe I would write something, too.

Yeah, do it! :heart_eyes: :smile:

There are some translate by other… Here two pages with some of his poems.

PD: Don’t expect find a long poem by him. He writes a lot using the figurative language.

Anyhow, for me is better listen to him reading his work:

In this video, he reads two poems, first in his natural language and then in Spanish. There are subtitles form video, but I’ll try to find the poem and send them to you later.

Thanks. I’m not sure, how to draw it. It’s rather small.

Thanks! I’d not say, I got better with this one. Just another style and technique. Training hatching and mechanic pencil. I have to learn how to emphasize the values of the surfaces with the hatching.
