Aleyda Quevedo Rojas (born 1972, Quito) [1] is an Ecuadorian poet and journalist. [2] She is considered one of the most relevant voices in contemporary Latin American poetry. [3]
Among her best-known works are the poems Algunas rosas verdes (1996), for which she won the Jorge Carrera Andrade Award of that year, [4] and Soy mi cuerpo (2006), in which she uses the human figure as an escape from the fears and anguish provoked by death. [5] [6] In 2017, the House of Ecuadorian Culture published the book Cierta manera de la luz sobre el cuerpo, a compilation of Quevedo's poems to that point. [7] [8] Writer Jesús David Curbelo described Quevedo's work as the "witness of a life and a supplier of feelings in which she scrutinizes first the body, then emotions, then finally the mind." [9]
In July 2018, Quevedo attended a colloquium commemorating Jorge Carrera Andrade with writers César Eduardo Carrión, Javier Cevallos Perugachi, José Gregorio Vásquez, Jesús David Curbelo, and Mario Pera. [10]
