  • Resumen

  • Titles do not do Eduardo Galeano justice. He was writer, reader, journalist, editor. But he was also historian. Catching stories in the air. Writing and retelling them anew. But he did not write for the stuffy halls of the elites or academia. He wrote for the people. He was a truth teller. A myth maker. An essayist. A poet. Polishing his craft. Honing his art. Chiseling his sculptures with words, until they were perfectly symmetrical. Gorgeous bouquets of words.

    He was a storyteller. And his tales had morals. His vignettes — tiny packets of beauty that remind us who we are, and where we come from. The immense injustices carried out by the powerful and the profound insight of the people. He died on April 13, 2015. This week is the 10-year-anniversary of his passing.

    This is episode 20 of Stories of Resistance — a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange. Independent investigative journalism, supported by Global Exchange's Human Rights in Action program. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times.
    April is poetry month in the United States. We are taking advantage to feature three stories about poetry and writing this week. This is the first of those three.
