By working closely with Mayan language and culture expert Rolando Ek Naal, a native speaker of Maya, key terms and concepts throughout the poem have been examined to identify cultural symbolism that is embedded linguistically. Besides the expertise of Mr. Ek Naal, this study has also been guided by the commentary of the poet herself, taken from a personal interview granted in 2012. Although, Cuevas Cob is a contemporary poet and in this poem speaks about issues facing young Mayan women today, many aspects of the language and imagery that she uses (as this study demonstrates) can be traced to ancient belief and expression. 2016 artículo científico 0185-2574 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=281344664007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2813/281344664007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2813/281344664007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2813/281344664007/281344664007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2813/281344664007/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2813 Estudios de Cultura Maya application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Estudios de Cultura Maya (México) Vol.XLVII |
