Farewell Aimée G. Bolaños
Fallece la poeta cubana Aimée G. Bolaños
Lamento comunicar el fallecimiento de nuestra querida amiga Aimée G. Bolaños (Cienfuegos,1943 - Brasil, 2025) tras ser atropellada en la ciudad brasileña donde residía.
Aimée era una reconocida poeta y ensayista cubana, dedicada actualmente a la docencia universitaria (en Brasil y Canadá) después de realizar dicha labor durante años en su Cuba natal.
En Betania le publicamos cuatro libros: el ensayo Poesía insular de signo infinito. Una lectura de poetas cubanas de la diáspora (2008) donde ahondó en la poesía de Juana Rosa Pita, Alina Galliano y Carlota Caulfield, dos poemarios: Las palabras viajeras (2010) y Visión de mujer con alas (2016), y el libro de narrativa Escribas (2013).
Esta sorpresiva e inesperada muerte nos ha golpeado a todos los amigos, colegas y familiares de Aimée, a quienes transmitimos nuestro más sentido pésame.
¡DESCANSA EN PAZ, amiga Aimée!
Cuban Poet Aimée G. Bolaños Passes Away
I regret to announce the death of our dear friend Aimée G. Bolaños (Cienfuegos, 1943 - Brazil, 2025) after being run over in the Brazilian city where she lived.
Aimée was a renowned Cuban poet and essayist, currently dedicated to university teaching (in Brazil and Canada) after working for years in her native Cuba.
At Betania, we published four of her books: the essay *Insular Poetry of an Infinite Sign. A Reading of Cuban Poets of the Diaspora* (2008), in which she delved into the poetry of Juana Rosa Pita, Alina Galliano, and Carlota Caulfield; two collections of poems: *Traveling Words* (2010) and *Vision of a Woman with Wings* (2016); and the fiction collection *Scribes* (2013).
This sudden and unexpected death has shocked all of Aimée's friends, colleagues, and family, to whom we extend our deepest condolences.
REST IN PEACE, my friend Aimée!
Aimée G. Bolaños
