Jaime Sáenz

Jaime Sáenz was born in La Paz on 8 October 1921 and spent his whole life there. Drawn to death, he frequented morgues to contemplate the dead, and alcohol played a large part in his existence, as did the night companions who surrounded him. A poet of a visionary and introspective lyricism, he published his first collection in 1955 and also left novels and stories. Part of his poetic work has been translated into English. He died in La Paz in August 1986.
