During the civil war three of her brothers were kidnapped and murdered, and she was forced to take refuge in the United States, where she stayed from 1981 to 1988. In 2000 she received the degree of Licentiate in Social Work from Universidad Rafael Landívar, with a thesis on the social function of Kaqchikel Maya spiritual guides ... In Weaving Events in Time, Ms Gabriel, who has also written under the name Caly Domitila Kanek, raises her voice to heaven and earth to demand respect for the rights of the Maya, in the light of her personal suffering and that of an entire people. Serious, lyrical, evocative, her poetry stimulates the imagination so that we may never forget what happened in the recent history of Guatemala." -- Back cover.
