Poetic Obituaries: [Eugenio] Montejo's poetry is known

for its rich texture and was published in numerous books in Spanish.

His work also reached a wider audience thanks to the 2003 film "21 Grams" by Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.

In one scene, Sean Penn's character quoted a line from a 1988 poem by Montejo: "The earth turned to bring us closer. It turned on itself and in us, until it finally brought us together in this dream."
