Homero Aridjis is a former Mexican Ambassador to the Nederlands and Switzerland and is most often heard of now in public life as the President of the Group of One Hundred (100 Artists for the Environment), championing — among other things — legislation to halt the slaughter of the sea turtle in Mexico. Several of his thirty books of poetry and prose have been translated into a dozen languages. He appears in all the major anthologies of Mexican and Latin American poetry: New Poetry of Mexico, edited by Octavio Paz, Ali Chumacero, Jose Emilio Pacheco and Homero Aridjis, Dutton, 1966; antología de la poesía hispanoamericana actual (edited by Julio Ortega, Siglo Veintiuno Editores, 1987), and Twentieth Century Latin American Poetry (edited by Stephen Tapscott, University of Texas Press, 1996). In 1997 he was awarded the Prix Roger Caillois for the ensemble of his work. He is currently President of International PEN. Homero Aridjis was brought up in Contepec, Michoacan. He now lives in Mexico City with his wife, Betty Ferber. He has two daughters, Chloe and Eva. |
