Tito and His Flying Dog
Tito and his Flying Dog tells the story of Amelia, a little Jack Russel dog who is looking for her forever home. She is known as “an escape artist” because she is good at escaping when she doesn’t like a place. But, when she finds Tito, who is in need of a companion, she knows that there is no need to escape anymore. The book explains how dogs fly in an airplane and the arrival of Abuela, Tito’s grandmother, offers an opportunity to explore family routines and learn commonly used Spanish words and phrases.
Madwomen
A schoolteacher whose poetry catapulted her to early fame in her native Chile and an international diplomat whose boundary-defying sexuality still challenges scholars, Gabriela Mistral (1889–1957) is one of the most important and enigmatic figures in Latin American literature of the last century. The Locas mujeres poems collected here are among Mistral’s most complex and compelling, exploring facets of the self in extremis—poems marked by the wound of blazing catastrophe and its aftermath of mourning. From disquieting humor to balladlike lyricism to folkloric wisdom, these pieces enact a tragic sense of life, depicting “madwomen” who are anything but mad. Strong and intensely human, Mistral’s poetic women confront impossible situations to which no sane response exists. This groundbreaking collection presents poems from Mistral’s final published volume as well as new editions of posthumous work, featuring the first English-language appearance of many essential poems. Madwomen promises to reveal a profound poet to a new generation of Anglophone readers while reacquainting Spanish readers with a stranger, more complicated “madwoman” than most have ever known.
Lárico, lúdico, lacónico
English summary: This monograph is a contribution to research in modern Chilean poetics. It is the first monograph on the poet Floridor Perez (born 1937) and represents a critical analysis of his complete works in their historical and literary context. His works encompass the spectrum of poetry from children's poetry to poems about death. His poetry displays a pronounced chilenidad and autobiographical influence with a tendency towards testimonio, expressed aesthetically through techniques such as intertexuality. The originality of Perez' poetics is higlighted through summarizing aspects of content and form as well as in detailed individual analyses. Alongside these, the monograph offers a p...
Poetry and the Realm of the Public Intellectual
The volume explores how these three writers used poetry to oppose patriarchal discourse on topics ranging from marginalized peoples to issues on gender and sexuality. Poetry was a means for them to redefine their own feminized space, however difficult or odd it could turn out to be.

Gabriela Mistral
Gabriela Mistral is the only Latin American woman writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Even so, her extraordinary achievements in poetry, narrative, and political essays remain largely untold. Gabriela Mistral: The Audacious Traveler explores boldly and thoughtfully the complex legacy of Mistral and the way in which her work continues to define Latin America. Edited by Professor Marjorie Agosín, Gabriela Mistral: The Audacious Traveler addresses for the first time the vision that Mistral conveyed as a representative of Chile during the drafting of the United Nations Human Rights Declaration. It depicts Mistral as a courageous social activist whose art and writings against fas...
South American Independence
The struggles for independence in Latin America during the first half of the nineteenth century were accompanied by a wide-ranging debate about political rights, nationality and citizenship. In South American Independence, Catherine Davies, Claire Brewster and Hilary Owen investigate the neglected role of gender in that discussion. Examining women writers from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Colombia, the book traces the contradictions inherent in revolutionary movements that, while arguing for the rights of all, remained ambivalent, at best, about the place of women. Through studies of both published and unpublished writings, South American Independence reveals the complex role of women in shaping the vexed ideologies of independence.
