Let's make this birthday one to remember.

90 years old (Born on May 14, 1935)

Happy birthday, Roque Dalton! May your day be filled with more poetic brilliance than "El mar" and fewer political debates than a Leninist book club. Your words continue to dance through history, proving that even revolutionaries can have rhythm.

Your essays on César Vallejo and El Salvador remain timeless hits—clearly you've mastered the art of making Marxism sound lyrical. Here's hoping this year brings you as much success as your literary classics; after all, who else could turn left-wing politics into poetry? Cheers to another revolutionary spin around the sun—you truly put the 'verse' in controversy!
