Latin America is known to be producing some of the most exciting
literature in the world today. With the region's rich intersecting
traditions, history of migrations, political movements, and commitment
to poetic innovation, the women poets who are currently working there
are some of the fiercest and most creative voices in the 21st century.
Temporary Archives brings together 24 of the most widely-read women
poets working in Spanish, Portuguese and indigenous languages throughout
the Latin American continent, who are in dialogue with each other, their
traditions, and with the current literatures and political movements in
the region. With a vibrant women's movement gaining increasing traction
in countries such as Chile, Argentina and Mexico, this anthology is a
timely contribution to the works currently being published in English
translation.
