This anthology aims to offer a partial sample of contemporary Guatemalan Mayan poetry by bringing together the texts of 15 poets from 6 different linguistic communities: kaqchikel, k'iche', poti', q'eq'chi', q'anjob'al and tz'utujil. These poets, who kindly accepted our invitation to participate in this work, constitute at least three generations of writers who emerged in the context of the (post) civil war (1960-1996, up to the present), globalization and the emergence of the Mayan movement in Guatemala. These texts can be read from the perspective of this social context and as a discursive construction contributing to the work of the movement in its search to dignify the Mayan memory, transcend the colonial legacy and spread the assertion of a modern national project of an intercultural nature.
