Pedro Lemebel’s work was mostly unavailable in English until last year, when a collection of his crónicas was released. Lemebel uses humor, vulgarity, acidic commentary, and tenderness to describe the lives of the marginalized people in his society. https://t.co/SgXKdyzmMO
Did you know that it has been 80 years since Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature? She was South America's first ever Nobel Prize laureate in literature.
Mistral was born Lucila Godoy Alcayaga in 1889 in Vicuna, Coquimbo in Chile. She was the daughter of a school teacher and poet, and Godoy began working as a teacher herself in her home district at just 15 years old. She continued working as a prominent educator until her poetry became known. She borrowed the pseudonym Gabriela Mistral from her favorite poets, Gabriele D'Annunzio and Frédéric Mistral. Godoy had several assignments within Latin American education systems, worked on various committees, and also served as the Chilean consul in several countries.
Mistral's poems are characterised by strong emotion and direct language. They are also influenced by the modernist movement. Their central themes are love, deceit, sorrow, nature, travel, and love for children.
To “punish” Colombia, Trump is about to make every American pay even more for coffee.
Remember: *WE* pay the tariffs, not Colombia.
Trump is all about making inflation WORSE for working class Americans, not better. He’s lining the pockets of himself and the billionaire class.
