From http://www.festivalofideas.ca/ErnestoCardenal.cfm: “Ernesto Cardenal is a Nobel Prize nominee, Roman Catholic priest, former Minister of Culture (1979-1988) and co-founder and honorary president of the international cultural center Casa de los Tres Mundos, an international literary and cultural organization based in Nicaragua. His work has been translated into more than twenty langauges. On his eightieth birthday in 2005, he was given Nicaragua’s highest cultural honour, the Order of Rubén Dario, by President Enrique Bolaños.” He is referred to as “arguably Latin America’s greatest living poet”.
