Books for National Novel Writing Month
For National Novel Writing Month in November, we have prepared a collection of books that will help students with their writing goals.
Winner of the 1945 Nobel Prize, Gabriela Mistral is one of the most radical, memorable poets of 20th-century Hispanic American lyric poetry. Chilean writer Lina Meruane has selected and daringly reordered almost 100 of her poems, allowing for new interpretations of a body of work in which rebellion, foreignness, discomfort, and harshness act as axes of a special, powerful poetry that is more valid today than ever.
“Mistral’s responsive poetry,” says Meruane in her prologue, “renounces the power of territories, opens up a fluid relationship with the earth, and leaves us the possibility of ending old models of society as a legacy. It is her way of teaching us to look at and think about everything in another way.”
