Poet. Writer. Communicator.
Some stories are spoken. Others are carried quietly for years until they finally find their way onto a page. For Baudilio Liriano-Chávez, poetry has always been a way of listening to memory, to love, to loss, to faith, to the immigrant experience, and to the questions that life leaves unanswered.
His bilingual poetry collection, Echoes of Silence (Selected Poems), brings together verses shaped by different moments of a life lived between places, memories, dreams, and realities. From the landscapes of Tenares to the experience of leaving home and beginning again in Boston, his poems explore what it means to love, remember, struggle, hope, and simply be human.

Together, they invite readers to pause, reflect, and listen to the emotions that often remain unspoken.
The bilingual edition allows the poetry to reach readers across languages while preserving the Spanish originals that give the collection its distinctive voice. The English translations offer another path into the poems, allowing their emotions and reflections to travel beyond linguistic and cultural boundaries.
The poems move through many dimensions of life—love and separation, memory and nostalgia, hope and uncertainty, migration and belonging, spirituality, social injustice, mortality, and the search for meaning.

It may especially resonate with readers who have experienced love, loss, departure, longing, cultural connection, or moments when the deepest emotions are difficult to put into words.
In this collection, silence is not simply the absence of words. It is where many words begin—the space between memory and expression, between what we feel and what we are finally able to say. The title reflects the collection’s recurring exploration of silence, voice, light, shadow, hope, and uncertainty.
