My Visit to the Ramos Sucre Birthplace (Eng/Esp)
English version
Visiting the Ramos Sucre House is like reconnecting with a part of myself that took shape within these walls during my college years. For decades, the house where the poet lived has been a place to cultivate humanistic passions such as literature, music, essays, theater, painting, poetry, and other arts.
I remember that the first time I was here was in 2000; at that time, I visited the library, which is the most comprehensive collection of poetry, fiction, and literary criticism in Sucre state. Since then, I have been a regular visitor to this place, which remains preserved as if time had left its structure untouched. From Sucre Street, you can see the hallway leading to the main room, which invites us to step inside and admire a grand colonial-era mansion.
It’s always nice to be here; I see familiar faces at every event that’s organized. Unlike the Andrés Eloy Blanco House-Museum, there are no photographs or objects related to José Antonio Ramos Sucre on display on the walls here. Only in the second room can you see the poet’s family tree. I’ve lost count of the many times I’ve been here; the most recent occasions included the launch of a book of essays, a lecture on horror literature, a podcast workshop, and a concert.
Stepping inside is like immersing myself in all the wonderful moments I’ve spent in these spaces—from workshops to help me grow professionally to plant and photography exhibitions, not to mention lectures and literary gatherings with the state’s most prominent writers. The always immaculate floor, the solemn decor, and the ever-present greenery in the inner courtyard are hallmarks of the place. From the lobby, a portrait of the renowned poet invites us to delve into the fascinating world of literature and creativity.

Visitar la casa Ramos Sucre es reencontrarme con una parte de mí que se formó en este recinto durante su época universitaria. Y es que la casa en la cual vivió el poeta ha sido durante varias décadas un sitio para desarrollar las pasiones humanísticas como la literatura, la música, el ensayo, el teatro, la pintura, la poesía y otras artes.
Recuerdo que la primera vez que estuve acá fue en el año 2000, para entonces visité la biblioteca, la más completa en lo que ue respecta a poesía, narrativa y crítica literaria del estado Sucre. Desde entonces he sido consecuente visitante de este lugar, el cual se conserva como si el tiempo no preguntara por su estructura. Desde la calle Sucre se puede observar el pasillo que conecta con la sala principal, que nos invita a pasar para contemplar una casona de procedencia colonial.
Siempre es agradable estar aquí, encuentro rostros familiares en cada actividad que se organiza. A diferencia de la Casa-Museo Andrés Eloy Blanco, aquí no se exhiben fotografías ni objetos relacionados con José Antonio Ramos Sucre en las paredes. Solamente en la segunda habitación se puede apreciar el árbol genealógico del poeta. He perdido la cuenta de las tantas ocasiones que he estado acá, las más recientes fueron la presentación de un libro de crónicas, una conferencia sobre literatura de terror, un taller de pódcast y un concierto.
Ingresar es sumergirme en tantos buenos momentos que he pasado en estas instalaciones, desde talleres para desarrollarme como profesional hasta exposiciones de plantas y fotografías, pasando por conferencias y tertulias con los más destacados escritores del estado. El piso siempre tan pulcro, el decorado solemne y ese verdor permanente en el patio interno son rasgos permanentes del lugar. Desde la sala, un retrato del insigne poeta nos invita a adentrarnos en el fascinante universo de las letras y la creatividad.
