On why she writes
Because I can’t not. I mean, what else am I going to do with my life? That’s another way of putting it. I simply must. Writers simply can’t help themselves. In a way they’re sort of like the queen of England. Every writer is doomed to his or her profession. What else is the queen going to do with her life? She was born a queen; she’s stuck. And writers are stuck, too.

The Inca-Chronicle was June 2007 nominated on UNESCO’s Memory of the World list.

Poma himself both wrote the text by hand and drew the nearly 400 full page illustrations.
These drawings graphically express the suffering of the people under Spanish rule.
