An avid reader of Saints Teresa of \u00c1vila and John of the Cross, Sicilia is a poet whose themes are linked with Catholicism and Christian mysticism. Later he met the Austrian philosopher Ivan Illich, and Sicilia has since become one of the main promoters of Illich’s thought among Mexican intellectuals.As a contributor to Proceso and as the editor of the magazine “Conspiratio”, Sicilia writes about various current philosophical, artistic and literary topics. In 2009 he was awarded the Aguascalientes National Award in Poetry, one of the most prestigious honors in Mexican literature.[1]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In 2011, TIME Magazine named The Protester as its Person of the Year,[2] and Sicilia was profiled in the accompanying “Profiles of Protesters” series [3] for his work in organizing the 2011 Mexican protests.In January 2013, he met with Mexican president Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto to discuss assistance and memorials for victims of violence in Mexico.[4]Estamos hasta la madre (“We-have-had-it”) protests[edit]  On March 28, 2011, Sicilia’s son Juan Francisco Sicilia Ortega was murdered along with six other victims [5] in Temixco, Morelos, Mexico, by drug gang members. Two of Juan Francisco’s friends were assaulted by policemen who were working with the Pac\u00edfico Sur drug cartel as muggers. The friends reported the attack, and the attackers turned to the Pac\u00edfico Sur cartel for help. On March 27, 8 Pac\u00edfico Sur cartel members, including an infamous member named El Pel\u00f3n, kidnapped the two victims as well as four other friends and Juan Francisco from a bar, murdering the group by suffocation.[6] In response, the poet led protests in Cuernavaca with satellites of support held in numerous other places throughout Mexico.[7] The protesters have called for an end to the Drug War, the retreat of military forces from the streets, the legalization of drugs, and the removal of Mexican President Felipe Calder\u00f3n. Protests have occurred in over 40 Mexican cities, including an estimated 50,000 in Cuernavaca and 20,000 in Mexico City.[8] The rallying cry of “Estamos hasta la madre!” (“We’ve had it up to here!”) was used during these protests.[6]On April 3, 2011, Sicilia announced in an open letter “To Mexico’s Politicians and Criminals” [9][10] a second protest, a “National March for Justice and against Impunity,” which started on May 5, 2011, in Cuernavaca, Morelos, and arrived on May 8 at the Z\u00f3calo in Mexico City,[11] where over 200,000 people attended.[12] Before the beginning of his speech,[13] Sicilia demanded that the Mexican President retire Genaro Garc\u00eda Luna from his post as Secretary of Public Security. A six-point national pact that searches for the social fabric’s refounding was read at the same protest.[14] Other related protests occurred the same day in over 31 Mexican cities and 17 cities over the globe.Literary works[edit]PoemsPermanencia en los puertos (1982)La presencia desierta (1985)Oro (1990)Trinidad (1992)Vigilias (1994)Resurrecci\u00f3n (1995)Pascua (2000)Lectio (2004)Tr\u00edptico del Desierto (2009)Vestigios (2013)NovelsEl bautista (1991)El reflejo de lo oscuro F.C.E.
