There, he devoted most of his time to the church and to religious missions in rural areas, always carrying with him a notebook filled with poems that almost no one read. Today, more than 5,600 kilometers from his hometown, exiled in California, USA, he has published his first book of verse titled <em>Me duele hasta el aire<\/em> (\u201cEven the Air Hurts Me\u201d).   <\/p>\n\n<p>The young poet is part of the group of <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/dictadura-excarcela-a-135-presos-politicos-y-los-destierra-a-guatemala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">135 Nicaraguan political prisoners<\/a> who were banished to Guatemala by the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo on September 5, 2024. That day he was forced to board a plane without knowing where he was going, without a suitcase, and without a farewell embrace from his mother. <\/p>\n\n<p>He recalls\u2014as if it were yesterday\u2014the feelings of \u201crage, pain, all the emotions\u201d he experienced when the charg\u00e9 d\u2019affaires of the US Embassy in Managua, Kevin O\u2019Reilly, arrived where the political prisoners were being held to inform them they had two options: \u201cboard a flight to Guatemala or stay (in Nicaragua) under the conditions of the dictatorship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cMaking that decision was very difficult for me. At that moment I felt something like betrayal. I asked myself, why do I have to leave? Why must I abandon my country?\u201d the poet remembers.<\/p>\n\n<p>Upon <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/quienes-son-los-135-presos-politicos-de-nicaragua-desterrados-a-guatemala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">arriving in Guatemala<\/a>, banished from Nicaragua, the first thing he did was write a poem that he memorized, as he had done while imprisoned without access to books or writing materials. That poem, found on page nine of the book, is titled <em>I Will Return<\/em>\u2014the same phrase that gives the book its title\u2014and, he says, was the hardest for him to write.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>\u201cEven the air I don\u2019t breathe in my home hurts me,<br\/>and there are days I don\u2019t want to be here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>The book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.sg\/Me-duele-hasta-el-aire\/dp\/B0GPP83P3L\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">available on Amazon since February 2026<\/a>, brings together poems Bojorge wrote at different stages of his life: from the years he traveled through rural communities as a missionary, to the months he spent in prison and his current exile in the United States.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inspirado-en-monsenor-romero\"><strong>Inspired by Monsignor Romero<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Bojorge says the idea of compiling his poems into a book came to him in December 2023, during a trip to El Salvador. On that occasion he visited the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Salvador, where the remains of Saint \u00d3scar Arnulfo Romero rest\u2014the Salvadoran archbishop assassinated in 1980 and canonized in 2018. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cBeing in the cathedral, in that basement, praying on my knees in that mausoleum, and feeling the presence of Monsignor Romero\u2014a voice that prophesied freedom in his country\u2014I felt his presence telling me that I could do something too,\u201d the Nicaraguan recounted.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"990\" height=\"670\" src=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-04-30-at-9.26.10-AM.jpg\" alt=\"Carlos Bojorge\" class=\"wp-image-188067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-04-30-at-9.26.10-AM.jpg 990w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-04-30-at-9.26.10-AM-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-04-30-at-9.26.10-AM-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-04-30-at-9.26.10-AM-480x325.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Carlos Bojorge during one of the Catholic Church processions in Nicaragua \/\/ Photo: \u00d3scar Navarrete<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>The book includes all the poetry Bojorge had accumulated over the years, previously published in fragments on Facebook or shared with a small circle of friends. Ninety percent consists of poems written before his imprisonment, as he did not want the book to become a chronicle of prison life. That episode still weighs too heavily on him.   <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cFor me, my time in prison represents a traumatic episode in my life, and many times I try not to bring it back into the present. It affected me deeply,\u201d he admits. <\/p>\n\n<p>The collection is divided into five sections: A Country We Left Behind, Communion, What Confinement Left Me, I Promised to Love You and the Promise Is Not Yet Broken, and I Thirst for Sincerity.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the first section, poems written in exile predominate, including the one that gives the book its title. The second section is dedicated to the Catholic Church and the ecclesial community. The third section gathers the last poems he wrote before being imprisoned. Only one poem in the book originated in prison; it is titled <em>\u201cFreedom\u201d<\/em> and appears on page 145.     <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-poesia-como-trinchera-en-el-encierro\"><strong>Poetry as a trench in confinement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/carlos-bojorge-el-poeta-catolico-encarcelado-por-la-dictadura-de-ortega\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carlos Bojorge was arrested on January 1, 2024<\/a>, as he was leaving the Managua cathedral after participating in the procession of the Blessed Sacrament. He was detained without a warrant by police agents and taken to \u201cLa Modelo\u201d prison, where he remained for nine months. <\/p>\n\n<p>In prison, inmates organized \u201cafternoon gatherings\u201d from their cells, where Bojorge recited his own poems and works by Eduardo Galeano, Mario Benedetti, Pablo Neruda, and Ernesto Cardenal. There, in a nearby cell, he met <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/excatedratico-freddy-quezada-pense-que-mis-opiniones-no-representaban-ningun-peligro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sociologist and academic Freddy Quezada<\/a>, who wrote the book\u2019s prologue.  <\/p>\n\n<p><em>\u201cMe duele hasta el aire&#8221;<\/em> is a collection structured in layers that range from his most mature poems\u2014for someone at the height of youth\u2014to the earliest ones, timid and wide-eyed before a world of words that ruffle his hair, as adults do with unfamiliar children. Layers, like a train of old war films whose cars carry poems of imprisonment, nostalgia for his country, faith, reflection, struggles, cosmic themes, and youthful love,\u201d Quezada wrote.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"677\" src=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Collage-de-poemario-Me-duele-hasta-el-aire-1024x677.jpg\" alt=\"Collage of a poetry collection: Even the air hurts\" class=\"wp-image-188069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Collage-de-poemario-Me-duele-hasta-el-aire-1024x677.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Collage-de-poemario-Me-duele-hasta-el-aire-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Collage-de-poemario-Me-duele-hasta-el-aire-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Collage-de-poemario-Me-duele-hasta-el-aire-480x317.jpg 480w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Collage-de-poemario-Me-duele-hasta-el-aire.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View of some poems from the poetry collection &#8220;Even the Air Hurts Me&#8221; by Carlos Bojorge \/\/ Photo: Courtesy <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-el-exilio-de-carlos-bojorge-en-estados-unidos\"><strong>Carlos Bojorge\u2019s exile in the United States<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Months after his expulsion to Guatemala, Bojorge moved to California. He currently works at a fast-food franchise, studies English, and in his free time reads and writes poetry. He says he has written around 50 new poems that he hopes to publish in a second collection.  <\/p>\n\n<p>But life in exile carries a series of uncertainties that are also reflected in his verses. He says he cannot travel freely because he was stripped of his Nicaraguan nationality, and although he has received invitations to participate in Church gatherings in Argentina and El Salvador, he cannot accept them. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cI continue to denounce the abuse and human rights violations committed against me. Expelling me from the country through a back door\u2014that should not have happened,\u201d he reflected.<\/p>\n\n<p>Poetry is Bojorge\u2019s instrument of denunciation. He affirms that \u201cpoetry is to express, to denounce\u2014it is to write what one feels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>The presentation of Carlos Bojorge\u2019s poetry collection will take place on May 23, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., at the Hayward Public Library in California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Alberto Bojorge Martinez, 24, was born and raised in the La Esperanza neighborhood in Managua.
