Gabriela Mistral: Selected Poems

Resumen del Libro

Libro Gabriela Mistral: Selected Poems

Gabriela Mistral (1889-1967), Chile's 'other' great poet of the twentieth century, is little known outside the Spanish-speaking world, and unlike Pablo Neruda has not been extensively translated into English. She deserves better, particularly as the first Latin American recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature (1945), and this selection of her poetry is designed to introduce her to an English-speaking public. Born Lucila Godoy Alcayaga in the Elqui valley in the 'little north' of Chile, she became a schoolteacher at the age of fifteen and went on to become an educator of international renown, an architect of educational reform in Mexico, and a cultural administrator at the League of Nations. She began publishing prose and verse pieces in newspapers and reviews at about the same age. Four major collections of her poems were published in her lifetime: Desolacion (Desolation) in 1922, Ternura (Tenderness) in 1924, Tala (Felling) in 1938, and Lagar (Wine Press) in 1954, followed by Poema de Chile published after her death. Poems from each of these five collections are included here. The landscape and people of her native Chile are a constant theme in her work, even though she lived most of her adult life away from Chile, largely as a consul - unpaid for many years - in Europe, Brazil, and the U.S.A., where she died. Her great love of children, who were the main preoccupation of her life and whom she both understood and respected; motherhood, and her lack of it; loss of people she loved; religious faith, tested and at times unorthodox, are other abiding themes. Her language is direct, passionate, rooted in local usage. The whole of her work, in prose as well as in verse, is a reflection of the absolute integrity of her life.

Papeles en los bolsillos

Libro Papeles en los bolsillos

Poemario lúdico, irónico, nostálgico, desesperado. Una selección que gira en torno al concepto de la muerte, y en particular, sobre el fin de cada momento, de las relaciones, de los ciclos vitales. Un cúmulo de diálogos internos, situando las manos en los bolsillos bajo una voz que va develando innumerables papeles, honestos por sobre todo, y con un fino sentido del humor: “La infelicidad es el estado poético por excelencia”, escribe Cristián Brito, periodista y Magíster en Letras.

Perras de caza

Libro Perras de caza

Perras de caza condensa una escritura tan aguerrida como poética, que envuelve un grito apasionado y feroz en pos de la liberación de las mujeres: versos que no dejan de cautivarnos. En sus poemas, Irene X rompe abruptamente con el silencio que envuelve un mundo artístico gobernado por hombres. En palabras de la autora: «Un mundo donde la mujer —siempre tratada como un ente frágil para poder quebrarlo— es objeto de abuso, coacción, extorsión y burla. Reducida a ser la compañera arrodillada, una mascota fiel. Que tarde o temprano será colgada, abandonada o llevada al matadero....

Janet GezariI La vida entera de Emily Brontë está recorrida por una misma pasión: la poesía. Estos poemas, compuestos en complicidad con sus célebres hermanas, Charlotte y Anne, comparten y amplian algunos de los temas centrales de su famosísima novela Cumbres borrascosas: el amor que se sobrepone a la muerte y la esperanza, el poder de la fantasía, la lealtad y la traición, las energías que solo se desprenden en soledad... y están escritos con la misma...
