Brasilia Skies: A Poem by Abhay K.

Ahay K. quoted in Colombia's leading daily El Espectador in an article on Poetry and Diplomacy

- [Abhay Kumar, más conocido como Abhay K., es un joven poeta y diplomático de carrera de la India, conocido por escribir no solo poesía, sino textos relacionados con democracia y diplomacia digital. Es una celebridad en su país. El colega Abhay Kumar ha escrito: “La diplomacia es un arte complejo que implica la mezcla de perspicacia política, finura cultural, habilidades de comunicación para ejercer el poder de persuasión. La diplomacia generalmente se lleva a cabo mediante oraciones cortas que revelan tanto como lo que esconden. La poesía no es muy diferente.”] http://blogs.elespectador.com/actualidad/ese-extrano-oficio-llamado-diplomacia
