Appreciation of Gabriela Mistral’s poetry

“Gabriela’s poetry possesses the merit of consummate originality, of a voice of its own, authentic and consciously realized. The affirmation within this poetry of the intimate “I” removed from everything foreign to it, makes it profoundly human, and it is this human quality that gives it its universal value.”

– Margot Arce de Vazquez
