Paratext Text	(San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2009)
Notes	The poem is inspired by the political and human rights history of San Cristobal de Las Casas in the Chiapas region of Mexico, a place associated with political activism, the EZLN's suppressed revolt and leader Samuel Ruiz who later received distinctions and awards from UNESCO and the International Human Rights Award in Nuremberg for his role in the region.
