Salom? Ure?a: Selected Poems

By Salome Urena

This is the first bilingual version of Salom Ure a's majestic poetry. No longer can Salom Ure a remain a secret. Born in 1850 in the Dominican Republic, in a nation gripped by war in search of its identity, Ure a, a woman of color in a patriarchal, Eurocentric society, ascended in her short lifetime to become the voice of her country. She had a single purpose throughout her life: to use the power of the word to unify her country in peace. The Emily Dickinson of the Dominican Republic, one of the greatest poets of Latin America, a forger of nations, a clarion of freedom and justice, Ure a for the first time is available in both her original Spanish and now in English.
