This is a book of poetry translated from Spanish to English.
The entire book is written from the perspective of various women: "The Abandoned Woman," "The Unburdened Woman," "The Happy Woman." I really enjoyed the language and the imagery of these poems. Mistral has a great deal of power and force behind her words, and even in translation, that holds true (I wouldn't know about in Spanish...I don't read Spanish).
I don't know if our library has this book since I bought it at a fancy bookstore here in Iowa City, which has every obscure poet in the world on its bookshelves. But yeah. If you can find it, you might like it.
