Snichimal Vayuchil or Flowery Dream is an experimental poetry workshop in bats'i k'op, or Tsotsil Maya, where writers create poetry in their own mother language and Spanish, sharing their work as a form of what they call relational poetry. Here individual workshop members present their poems in English translation. You'll find a good deal of sonic diversity, Tsostil and its twin, Spanish (translated here into English of course!) are used for poetic composition. This bilingualism underscores the writers' abilities and knowledge across languages. Composing in free verse, the poets express their daily lives, painting landscapes from the urban and rural imaginaries, to share their thoughts about land, family, love, pain, death, la lucha, resistance, and many other things to give a voice to those usually denied a voice, music to the deaf, in poetic composition!
