En este ensayo, Bly narra su experiencia al infiltrarse en el manicomio de mujeres de Blackwells Island, en Nueva York, con el objetivo de exponer las condiciones y los abusos que sufrian las internas. La publicacion de su reportaje en el periodico New York World tuvo un gran impacto, lo que llevo a una investigacion por parte del Gran Jurado del condado de Nueva York y, posteriormente, a la implementacion de reformas significativas en las instituciones psiquiatricas y al incremento del presupuesto destinado a su supervision y mejora.

Este libro ofrece una selección de la obra de Raúl Zurita que, en forma de palimpsesto, enlaza mitos griegos, Dante, Shakespeare y referencias contemporáneas para denunciar la violencia, la migración y las heridas abiertas de la historia latinoamericana y mundial.

Esta compilacion revela la fuerza de una poesia transmedial que, desde la herida propia y el dolor compartido, levanta un canto urgente por la dignidad humana.

Hebe Uhart escribe sobre las impresiones de una directora de escuela, sobre el arte de hacer un budín esponjoso, sobre una mujer que cuida un jardín, sobre una madre que abandona la provincia y va a buscar suerte a la ciudad. Son vidas comunes, sencillas. Son personajes que descubren el amor, que se quedan rumiando el sonido de ciertas palabras, que despiertan y miran el mundo sin prejuicios, como si lo estuvieran viendo siempre por primera vez; que se detienen en minucias y descubren que esas minucias contienen, muchas veces, el sentido de sus vidas.

Esta antologia minima ofrece un recorrido condensado por una trayectoria extensa y diversa.
