  • ... that four-term Uruguyan Senator Alba Roballo was also an award-winning poet with a rebellious spirit? Source: "in 1958 she was elected to the Senate for the first time. She went on to win re-election in 1962, and again in 1966" (ODNB); "Alba participó en el senado hasta 1993" [Alba participated in the Senate until 1993] (Protagonistas de Nuestra América); "Se levanta el sol recibió el Primer Premio del Ministerio de Instrucción Pública" [The Sun Rises received first prize from the Ministry of Public Instruction] (Protagonistas de Nuestra América); "Lo exacto es que dio, muy joven, un volumen de versos, 'Se levanta el sol', pujante, rebelde, pletórico..." [The exact thing is that she gave, very young, a volume of verses, "The sun rises", vigorous, rebellious, abundant] (Diario El Pueblo)
