Roberto Sosa (18 April 1930 – 23 May 2011) was a Honduran author and poet born in Yoro, Honduras. He spent his early life working hard to help provide for his poor family. He published his first book when he was almost thirty years old.
Sosa published Los Pobres in 1969, which won the Adonais Prize in Spain. Un Mundo Para Todos Dividido, published in 1971, won the Casa de las Americas Prize in Cuba. By 1990, he had published six books of poetry, three of prose, and two anthologies of Honduran literature. In 1990, he published Obra Completa (Complete Works).[citation needed]
The Difficult Days, Poems, The Common Grief, and The Return of the River have all been translated into English.
At the time of his death, Sosa lived in Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras. He was the editor of a magazine, Presente, and the president of the Honduras Journalists’ Union. He also taught literature at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras.[citation needed]
