The town in its own words
The original invitation asked residents of Aracataca to share poems reflecting their lives and experiences. Its starting point was the town’s human and cultural richness.
Local voices, wider connections
Poetry can bring personal experience into a shared space. This project sits alongside Tim’s own bilingual collection and the literary encounters developed around Aracataca.
