Finalist for the 2023 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation, Adela Zamudio: Selected Poetry & Prose is the first book in English showcasing the life and writings of Bolivia’s most celebrated writer and educator, Adela Zamudio (1854-1928). Zamudio’s birthday is a national holiday in Bolivia. Self-taught, Zamudio was the mother of feminism and women’s education in Bolivia, and was active for Indigenous People’s rights. The President of Bolivia crowned her with gold laurel leaves in honor of her cultural contributions. Adela Zamudio: Selected Poetry & Prose, translated from the Spanish by Lynette Yetter, presents a bilingual overview of Zamudio’s work, much of which was previously untranslated. Several chapters, including the prologue by Bolivian Zamudio scholar Virginia Ayllón, outline Zamudio’s biography and the cultural context in which she wrote. Adela Zamudio’s celebration of lesbian love and her ironic cultural critiques continue to resonate today.
