SUS CARTAS / HIS LETTERS

SUS CARTAS / HIS LETTERS

Riobamba, Ecuador, 1930, my grandfather dies into unclear circumstances, at the age of 23. Year 1977, 47 years later, Laura Jimenez writes the poem SUS CARTAS, a loving homage to my dead grandfather, whom she never married. Year 2008 this poem is brought to my mother by the former housekeeper of Mrs. Jimenez, and then to my hands. A tribute to a man I never met, my mother never loved, and this woman never had.
