Pedro Blas y Hereyra
Nuestro Caribe tiene dos de los poetas más consagrados y reconocidos de Colombia: Pedro Blas y José Luis Hereyra. Pedro, nacido en la barriada de Getsemaní a la que le ha cantado con sus versos desde su primer aliento como creador, logró un lenguaje particular, insuperable e imposible de imitar. Hereyra, parido en Barranquilla, donde amasó parte de su vida académica, se afincó en Sincelejo hace largos años, nutriéndose de los encantos de la sabana sucreña y del mar azul del Golfo de Morrosquillo.
