- eltiempohabitado.wordpress.com/ El tiempo habitado, es un libro escrito por Julie Sopetrán. Es un libro de poesía lírica inspirado en vivencias. Fue un libro afortunado porque recibió el Premio Letras de Oro, patrocinado por el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de España y la Universidad de Miami en Estados Unidos. En este portal se encuentran poemas de la poetisa Julie Sopetrán, sobre Día de Muertos en México. Ella escribe al respecto: “Mi primer encuentro con la muerte fue en Ihuatzio. Para una española, entrar a un cementerio en plena noche, requiere preparación. En España no celebramos la muerte. Nos da miedo nombrarla. Vamos a plena luz del día y les ponemos flores a los seres querdos el día primero de Noviembre. Fue difícil pero no imposible”.
