Marisol Ceh Moo

Marisol Ceh Moo was awarded the Nezahualcóyotl Prize for Literature in Mexican Languages in 2014 for her novel Chen tumeen x ch´úupen / Sólo por ser mujer [Just for being a woman]. In 2007 and 2010, she received first place in the Alfredo Barrera Vásquez contest for Maya Language Narrative. She writes novels, short stories, essays, and poetry, she translates and interprets from Maya language, and she has produced and directed the radio program Nikte’ k’iin / Flor de Sol [Flower of sun]. She has published many volumes of fiction and poetry, and her work has been included in several anthologies. In recognition of her Nezahualcóyotl Prize in 2014, the prize committee indicated that Sol Ceh Moo “dominates the literary twists and turns of Spanish and Maya; her work takes its place in the present day, leaving behind conventional themes, flower and song and/or mother earth, to talk about gendered violence and how this phenomenon is lived in the indigenous communities of the Yucatán. The protagonist of her novel is a woman who breaks the established parameters of conduct for women in contemporary Maya society.”

From T’ambilák men tunk’ulilo’ob / El llamado de los tunk’ules by Marisol Ceh Moo
