Jaime Sáenz, Bolivian author and poet (b. 1921)
Jaime Sáenz Guzmán (8 October 1921 – 16 August 1986) was a Bolivian poet, novelist, and short story writer. Born in the city of La Paz, he lived his entire life there. The rough topography and harsh climate of this Andean city had a powerful effect on much of his work. His poetry, though individual to the point of being difficult to classify, bears some similarities with surrealist literature.

Throughout his life, Sáenz struggled with alcoholism, a struggle which he frequently wrote about in his poems. Accordingly, he is often viewed as a poète maudit, or "cursed poet". Sáenz was openly, "unashamedly", bisexual.
