About Me
About me
I'm inspired by the poets listed above, but also by nature, experience, observation and intuition. I was, sadly, inspired by my son, who died aged 29 of ALS. And by my husband, who had dementia for 15 years. I became widowed 6 years ago. I write in English and Spanish. I'm translating many poems and essays. My topics are climate emergency, forest fires, water shortage and others such as love, illness, pain, etc.
I love all animals and have had many during my lifetime, especially growing up on our farm. Now I have one kitty, whom I adore.
Location: Río Negro, Argentine Patagonia, ARG
Favorite Poets
Sylvia Plath
T.S. Elliot. Shakespeare
Gongora
Beckett
etc. Many others
such as Cervantes. I have to thank my mother because she read poetry to me from the cradle
so first I learned by memory and soon understood the words. Grammar comes naturally at about 5 years old
without any formal teaching.
