17 / The change of face has not been a change of substance. The people who resisted with dignity—the ones who faced tear gas, repression, and death—remain standing, but they still do not see the rebirth they so deeply long for.

12/ oday, even though you are no longer in power, the same chain of command continues, the same party, the same corruption, the political prisoners, and the lack of basic services. The country remains on the ground.

10/ They handed the country over to foreign interests, betrayed the historic claim to the Essequibo, and turned Venezuela into a hostage of someone else’s project. That betrayal of the homeland is not forgotten. You governed with a discourse of “economic warfare” and “imperialism,

9/ Where are the fruits of the thousands of agreements signed, of the endless national broadcasts, of the trips and the money squandered? The results are plain to see: extreme poverty, exile… Massive, preventable deaths and the surrender of sovereignty.

8/ You failed. Venezuelans want to be Venezuelan: free, dignified, and masters of their own destiny—not a forced copy of foreign regimes. You spoke endlessly of the homeland, of Bolívar, and of a supposed “21st-Century Socialism.”

Noris Roberts @norisroberts.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
7/ What results did your government leave behind? A people battered by scarcity, crushing inflation, lack of medicine, insecurity, arbitrary detentions, and the systematic destruction of democracy. You and Hugo Chávez tried to alter the essence of the Venezuelan people.

6/ The Venezuelan people may be patient, but they were never blind or submissive. The timid complaints turned into a collective outcry that echoed through the streets, through the nights, and without a doubt, also in their conscience.

- What is the best time for you to write a poem? I don't really have a schedule for writing, everything flows spontaneously in any place at any time, which is why I always carry a notebook with me. Sometimes my verses sprout from a single phrase.
021
Noris Roberts @norisroberts.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
- Which poets are your references and favorite authors? 
For the reasons more or less explained above, I consider myself a somewhat anarchic reader. I mostly read what I can get my hands on, although sometimes I look for an author as a reference.

Noris Roberts @norisroberts.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
In poetry much less so, since it is born from purely emotional sources. I believe, and this is only a wish, that poetry should serve understanding: to stop wars, to satiate famines, to heal wounds. But as you can see, it is only a utopian wish.

Noris Roberts @norisroberts.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
If you ask anyone who writes, they will give you a different answer. That is, poetry can be anything from "a tool loaded with the future" to a hendecasyllabic corkscrew with no other pretension than aesthetics. 
In art in general, there are no goals.

Noris Roberts @norisroberts.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
- What is your understanding of poetry? What is the aim of this art and what can it change?
010
Noris Roberts @norisroberts.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
From then on, everything depends on the process, the evolution itself, the devotion, the search, the desire... If I look back at my first verses, I see that the evolution is indeed the fruit of work, but the essence is in those first sensations that I would not have written today.

Noris Roberts @norisroberts.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
- Is poetry the child of inspiration or of work? 
I would say that poetry is more like a mother: a mother who gives you all her affective qualities, who puts you in the place that corresponds to you, so that you can begin your journey.

t is romantic, cosmopolitan, epigrammatic, avant-garde, surrealist, rebellious, all sailing on their own waters of the writer's imagination.

- Tell us about some writers from your country. Eugenio Montejo, Andrés Eloy Blanco, Arturo Uslar Pietri, Romulo Gallegos, Rafael Cadenas, Ida Gramko, Yolanda Pantin, and many others. Venezuelan poetry has often responded to the winds of its time.

Andrés Bello's manifest humanism finds its poetic channel in the legendary "Silva a la Agricultura de la Zona Tórrida", a text that we have all read at some point in our lives. A voice that came from the heart.

Noris Roberts @norisroberts.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
In his life and work, Bello embodied the typical humanist, but a humanist representative of a new concept of culture; in fact, he is considered the first humanist in the Americas.
