Daisy Zamora is one of the most well-known figures in Latin American poetry today. Her work is noted for its harsh tone and broad scope, which includes human rights, politics, revolution, female concerns, art, history, and culture. She was a member of the national Sandinista Liberation Front and served as Vice-Minister of Culture after the Sandinista Liberation Front's victory in 1979. In 1977, her debut collection of poems won Nicaragua's National Poetry Award. She has four English-language books, including The Violent Foam and Clean Slate.

She currently resides in San Francisco with her American poet husband, George Evans. George Evans has five books of poetry published in the United States and England, as well as writing fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Lannan Foundation, and the California Arts Council. He has translated the poetry of Huu Thinh and his wife, Daisy Zamora, and edited the popular national contemporary poetry and arts project Streetfare Journal.
