Just stumbled across these couple of lines on his wikipedia page, and I liked them.
No hay lado colombiano
No hay lado peruano
Solo hay lado humano
You have to scroll down the wikipedia page for the english translation. More of his poetry is here.

Saw him give a reading many, many years ago (1979!) in Birmingham Town Hall (I was doing Russian A level). Some of his poems are just stunning, even in translation. He seems to be enjoying a new lease of life, too. He was over at the Galway festival last year.
