Sobre IBD

In this posthumously published collection of narrative poems, Marjorie Agosín’s intention was to share the culmination of a lifetime of gifts-to be given, received, shared, appreciated, and contemplated-that bring beauty, delight, and wonder to our lives.Marjorie’s many beautiful poems explore words: their organic nature, how they can be strung together, and how they can be used to create a plethora of meanings for different contexts. When you read Gifts, you will see the magic of words in action as her poems evoke different feelings and lead to different interpretations with each subsequent reading.Marjorie Agosín was an award-winning poet, essayist, fiction writer, and activist, as well as Professor of Spanish language and Latin American literature at Wellesley College. The United Nations honored her work on human rights, notably for women’s rights in Chile. Professor Agosín won many important literary awards.En esta colección de poemas narrativos publicada póstumamente, Marjorie Agosín pretendía compartir la culminación de toda una vida de regalos para dar, recibir, compartir, apreciar y contemplar; regalos que Marjorie esperaba que aportaran belleza, alegría y asombro a nuestras vidas. Los numerosos y bellos poemas de Marjorie exploran las palabras: su naturaleza orgánica, cómo se pueden enhebrar y cómo se pueden utilizar para crear una gran variedad de significados en diferentes contextos. Al leer Ofrendas, se ve la magia de las palabras en plena acción puesto que los poemas de Marjorie evocan diferentes sentimientos y dan lugar a diferentes interpretaciones con cada lectura. Marjorie Agosín fue una galardonada poeta, ensayista, escritora de ficción y activista. También fue profesora de español y literatura latinoamericana en Wellesley College. Las Naciones Unidas honraron su labor en defensa de los derechos humanos, en particular los derechos de las mujeres en Chile. La profesora Agosín ganó numerosos premios literarios prestigiosos.
