Alfonsina Storni: Selected Poems
AUTHOR
Alfonsina Storni
A compelling collection of poetry by Argentine poet Alfonsina Storni, one of Latin America's most influential feminist voices of the early 20th century. This bilingual edition features sharp, emotionally intense verse translated by Marion Freeman and others, capturing Storni's unflinching exploration of love, identity, and women's struggles in a patriarchal society. Her razor-edged poetry confronts pain and social constraints with remarkable honesty, offering readers a powerful and rewarding literary experience. Part of White Pine Press's Secret Weavers Series, celebrating women poets from around the world.
Reviews
"This collection is painful, disturbing, and rewarding. Freeman and three other translators transform Storni's razor-sharp poetry into English versions that invite constant rereading. This is a poetry of fatal beauty that leads toward unavoidable death, but not before freeing the poet to leave everything she can behind."
— Ray Gonzalez, Bloomsbury Review
