Famous New Zealand literary figure James K Baxter (photo left above) lived fast, died young, and left more than 600 pages of poetry in his wake. Caleb Harris's output is arguably less prodigious but what he has done is introduce Baxter to the Spanish speaking world. Over the course of a decade, Harris (photo right above) – a former Stuff reporter-turned-firefighter – has translated 21 of Baxter's poems into Spanish.
The genesis for a new book, 'The Māori Jesus & Other Poems' - 'El Jesús Maorí y otros poemas', came 10 years ago when Harris was in Colombia studying a masters in literature, in Spanish. He and a friend, Íkaro Valderrama, translated six of Baxter's poems for a university magazine and got them published before they started thinking of a book. Harris returned to New Zealand and Valderrama started a publishing company, Lobo Blanco Editores, in Colombia, which went on to publish the book there. |

Chilean cuisine is fairly simple but varied and seafood, beef, fruit and vegetables all feature heavily. The cuisine stems from a combination of traditional Spanish cuisine, Chilean indigenous culture and local ingredients and is influenced by German, Italian and French cuisines. The country’s unique geography and climate has resulted in an abundance of fruit, vegetables and other agricultural products. The country is probably best known for its seafood with an immense array being caught along its vast coastline.
The Humboldt Current is responsible for bringing in a rich supply of seafood (including paua, razor clams, mussels, spider crabs, oysters, conger eels, salmon swordfish, hake, tuna and sole). Grilled meats are also popular and beef now tends to be more common than llama meat, having being brought in by Europeans. Other popular foods include stews, empanadas, corn, beans, potatoes and exotic tropical fruits such as lucuma and cherimoya. - chimuadventures.com

LATIN AMERICAN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

However, prospects were cut this month and activity is seen staying sluggish overall, weighed on by slowing exports and high uncertainty. Political risk, especially in Argentina in the run-up to elections, and concerns over fiscal accounts cloud the outlook. Latin America is projected to grow 2.1% in 2019, down 0.1 percentage points from last month's forecast. For 2020, Latin America is expected to grow 2.5%. Despite Trump, US-Latin America Trade Up Brazil only country outside of US with billionaire growth past year.
