Beschreibung:
Claribel Alegría was a Salvadorian-Nicaraguan poet, essayist, novelist, and journalist who was a major voice in the literature of contemporary Central America. She has been called "one of the region's finest writers" by The Washington Post. Alegría published over forty books, including fifteen collections of poetry, and was a recipient of the Casa de las Americas Prize of Cuba. Her works in English include Ashes of Izalco, Luisa in Realityland, and Family Album. She was awarded the 2006 Neustadt International Prize for Literature. She died in 2018.
This bilingual edition of poems from El Salvador's most beloved poet moves between Central America and the world, between childhood's safety and the journey through time that the speaker must take. The translation lovingly preserves the lyricism of the original language, a moving and memorable collection.
