The first Nobel Prize in literature to be awarded to a Latin American writer went to the Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral. During her lifetime Mistral published four books: Desolation, Tenderness, Clearcut, and Winepress. Le Guin includes poems from all five books in this volume, with particular emphasis on the later work. The intelligence and passion of Le Guin's selection and translation will allow people to hear the originality, power, purity, and intransigence of this great American voice.
