520    "A collection of poetry by one of the greatest Indigenous 
       poets of the Americas about the vanished world of his 
       childhood -- that of the Maya K'iche'. Aquí era el paraíso
       / Here Was Paradise is a selection of poems written by the
       great Maya poet Humberto Ak'abal. They evoke his childhood
       in and around the Maya K'iche' village of Momostenango, 
       Guatemala, and also describe his own role as a poet of the
       place. Ak'abal writes about children, and grandfathers, 
       and mothers, and animals, and ghosts, and thwarted love, 
       and fields, and rains, and poetry, and poverty, and death.
       The poetry was written for adults but can also be read and
       loved by young people, especially in this collection, 
       beautifully illustrated by award-winning Guatemalan-
       American illustrator Amelia Lau Carling. Ak'abal is famous
       worldwide as one of the great contemporary poets in the 
       Spanish language, and one of the greatest Indigenous poets
       of the Americas. Ak'abal created and wrote his poems first
       in K'iche', then translated them into Spanish."--
