 | | “Writing in the 1930s through the ’50s, de Burgos was ahead of her time in grasping connections between history, the body, politics, love, self-negation, and feminism that would later prove to be the foundations for writers like Rich and Plath... |
 | | Much of her poetry is allegorical, using imagery from nature to convey her amorous passions, her political or social concerns, or even just the passages of life she experienced. |
 | | This bilingual edition of Julia de Burgos’ complete poems, more than 200 of them, is a literary landmark--the first time her poems have appeared in a complete edition in either English or Spanish. |
