For the international awards Jaime Sabines poetry in Mexico and Casa de America in Spain, given to two of the most significant poets among those born in the 1960s, Juan Felipe Robledo and Ramon Cote Baraibar, respectively, are joined by John J. surveys Junieles (International Poetry Prize, City Alajuela, Costa Rica), Alejandro Burgos Bernal (International Poetry Prize Gabriel Celaya, Spain), Felipe Garcia Quintero (International Poetry Prize Pablo Neruda) and Andrea Cote Botero (World Youth Poetry Award " Bridges of Struga ", awarded by UNESCO and the International Poetry Festival of Macedonia), among others.
