Gabriela Mistral: Selected PoemsAuthor(s): Salvador Ortiz-Carboneres, Paul Burns\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Liverpool University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Aris & Phillips Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780856687631, 978-0856687631\nSynopsis\nGabriela Mistral [tel], 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 [tel], 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 new.
