About the author
Born in Pitalito, Colombia, in 1950, he later made his life in Ecuador and built a wide-ranging literary career as a poet, essayist, editor, and cultural manager. Sources consistently describe him as a writer who has worked across Colombia, Mexico, and Ecuador, with training in editorial processes and cultural management.
His published work includes poetry collections such as El vuelo del cormorán, Húmedo umbral, Desolación de la lluvia, Secreta mudanza, and Cabeza devorada. He has also written essays and chronicles, including Crimen y castigo o la expiación que no cesa, showing a strong interest in close literary reading alongside his creative work.
Beyond his own books, he has been active in publishing and cultural projects, and Goodreads notes that Ecuador honored him with honorary citizenship for his cultural work. Taken together, his career suggests a writer deeply involved not only in literature itself, but also in the communities and institutions that help it thrive.
