Poetry.
Venezuela rarely publishes books because there is scarce paper to print them on..
Rolling blackouts leave citizens without electricity for many hours at a time and when the power returns, the surge of electricity sometimes damages appliances.
In Venezuela, citizens sometimes die at home because there is no fuel for ambulances.
With all this happening simultaneously, it\'s no surprise that more than 5.5 million citizens have left Venezuela, the largest mass migration in recent Latin American history.
Police practices are brutal.
Millions of citizens do not have access to basic health care and adequate nutrition.
The economic crisis has produced hyperinflation and prices have risen by more than 6,000%.
Venezuela is a country in crisis.
