5 poems by Ruperta Bautista Vázquez

Abstract

The five poems translated here draw upon Ruperta Bautista Vázquez's work in which the poet elaborates on Maya cosmovision. It dovetails with her more overtly political poetry in that these poems turn literature into a site of cultural organization and healing in the 21st Century.
