Descripción
2023 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation, finalist. First book in English showcasing the life and writings of Bolivia's most celebrated writer and educator, Adela Zamudio (1854-1928). Her birthday is a national holiday in Bolivia. Self-taught, Zamudio was the mother of feminism and women's education in Bolivia, and was active for Indigenous People's rights. The President of Bolivia crowned her with gold laurel leaves in honor of her cultural contributions. Adela Zamudio: Selected Poetry & Prose, translated from the Spanish by Lynette Yetter, presents a bilingual overview of Zamudio's work, much of which was previously untranslated. Several chapters, including the Prologue by Bolivian Zamudio scholar Virginia Ayllón, outline Zamudio's biography and the cultural context in which she wrote. Adela Zamudio's celebration of lesbian love and her ironic cultural critiques continue to resonate today.

Acerca del Autor
Zamudio, Adela
Adela Zamudio (1854-1928) is the most celebrated writer of Bolivia, where her birthday is a national holiday. Self- educated, she was the mother of feminism and women's education in Bolivia. She was an activist for women's right to vote, women's right to divorce, and for indigenous rights. Her Quechua-language literacy projects are credited with contributing to the success of indigenous uprisings.Yetter, Lynette M.
Lynette Yetter is a Pushcart Prize nominated poet who first encountered a bust of Adela Zamudio in a park bearing her name in La Paz, Bolivia. Curious to learn more, since so few women are honored with monuments, Yetter read everything she could find by and about Adela Zamudio, culminating in a summa cum laude Reed College Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) thesis, and this book. Lynette Yetter is a panpipe-playing Buddhist lesbian artist who shares her time between La Paz, Bolivia and the unceded indigenous territory temporarily called Portland, Oregón. www.LynetteYetter.comGarantía & Otros
