Reno Gazette-Journal Carson poet surprised by $5,000 fellowship: "The 45-year-old Carson City resident had only started writing in earnest again about three years ago after a 10-year hiatus. An even bigger concern was that the Lima, Peru, native writes his poems in Spanish. Chavez only began translating his work into English less than a year ago." A Peruvian poet wins acclaim for his poetry in Nevada.
