I'm thinking of buying a particular Che shirt from this site: www.SolidBrand.com . The reason that I'm interested in this shirt is that it potentially points out another interesting fact of Che. The shirt claims that Che was also a poet. The title of the shirt is 'Poeta'. This word ("poeta") is printed below and across a portion of the famous graphic image of Che. This company claims that Che was also a poet.

I've since researched this and have discovered that he was in fact very fond of poetry. And even wrote some poetry.

Can anyone confirm that Che was also a poet before I purchase a shirt that is potentially making a false claim?

If so, Does anyone know where to find Che's poetry?

Thanks!

Ofcourse Che was a poet, just read anything by him and notice how good he is with words and how he is able to capture his essence within his writing.

I agree with Bride of chucky.. He wrote some poems, we all do, But I don't think we like to share them.

So, Che was not a real poet, you can call him a amateur poet.
