- Jaime Sáenz
Jaime Sáenz Guzmán (1921–1986) was a
Bolivia n poet,novel ist, andshort story writer. Born in the city ofLa Paz , he lived virtually his entire life in that city, and its dark atmosphere had a powerful effect on much of his work. His poetry, though individual to the point of being difficult to classify, bears some similarities with surrealist literature.Throughout his life, Saenz struggled with
alcoholism , a struggle about which he frequently wrote in his poems. Owing to this fact, he is often viewed as a sort ofpoète maudit , or "cursed poet".Works
