Daisy Zamora on Nicaragua

“In Nicaragua, everybody talks poetry...We have two sports, two national sports. One is baseball, the other one is poetry.”

“I traveled a lot around the country in those first years working as Vice Minister of Culture and I witnessed that the cultural and artistic explosion that took place in Nicaragua right after the Revolution had no precedent: it was like a renaissance and rebirth of all of the cultural richness which had once been oppressed and buried under the weight of the Somocista dictatorship.”
