Web Serial - Latin American Poetry: Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica

2015-02-09 2

Today's edition of Web Serial looks at Latin American poetry. The program begins with a report on Nicaraguan poet José Leonel Rugama (1949-1970), who was also a guerrilla fighter with the Sandinista National Liberation Front and seminary student. Then to El Salvador, where a documentary released last year chronicles the life of national poet and revolutionary Roque Dalton (1935-1975). And finally, to Costa Rica, where poets are taking their message of "fighting violence with poetry" to all corners of the country, including its prisons, to raise awareness. teleSUR
