To mark International Book Day, the Centro Social de Mayores (CSM)<\/a> in London invited me once again in 2011 to give a talk. That year I spoke to them about Gabriela Mistral, the great Chilean poet, who began her career as a teacher, went on to become a diplomat, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1945 for her poetry, and was a woman of immense sensitivity in every respect.<\/p>\n

Below, I have reproduced the text of my talk, which you can also download here as a PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That year was the first time it was also recorded on video, and I\u2019ve uploaded it here (part 1<\/a>, part 2<\/a> and part 3<\/a>).<\/p>\n

GABRIELA MISTRAL: A WOMAN WHO LOVED<\/b><\/h1>\n

A tribute to Artur Nils Lundkvist, <\/em><\/p>\n

Laura Rodig, Palma Guill\u00e9n and Doris Dana<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>1. <\/strong>INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gabriela Mistral was the first woman in history to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for her poetry, specifically in 1945, and the first person from Latin America to receive this honour.<\/p>\n

This tribute to Gabriela Mistral is divided into four parts (Gabriela the teacher, Gabriela the diplomat, Gabriela the poet and her legacy), in which we shall attempt to focus solely on one aspect of her poetic output: that of the Gabriela who loved and, tangentially, the modern mystical Gabriela.<\/strong><\/p>\n
