About the Book

En esta colección de ensayos entretejidos con poemas y folclore, Judith Ortiz Cofer cuenta la historia de cómo llegó a ser poeta y escritora y explora su amor por las palabras, su descubrimiento de la magia del lenguaje y su lucha por sacar tiempo de donde no tenía para practicar su arte.

Natural de Puerto Rico, Cofer vino a los Estados Unidos de niña. Dividida entre dos culturas y dos idiomas, temprano se dio cuenta del poder de las palabras y cómo ejercerlo. Descubrió su amor por la sutileza, los sonidos y los ritmos de la palabra escrita cuando una maestra, una monja católica empeñada en cambiar las tradiciones para mejorarlas, le dio a leer unos libros de literatura culta, algunos de los cuales estaban prohibidos por la Iglesia. Más adelante, de adulta, las exigencias por parte de su familia y de su profesión hicieron difícil que Cofer contara con el tiempo para entregarse a su arte, pero la necesidad que sentía de expresarse y su determinación a lograrlo la llevaron a encontrar soluciones que pueden ayudar a todos los artistas que se ven desafiados por limitaciones de tiempo. Cofer recuerda los cuentos familiares que le sirven de inspiración y muestra su relevancia para todos los artistas, para todas las mujeres, para todo el mundo. Ella anima a sus lectores a reclamar el derecho a ser ellos mismos y a perseguir sus pasiones.

Mujer frente al sol, un libro que divierte, instruye y cautiva, será un recurso inestimable para estudiantes de poesía y de escritura creativa, básico en cada aula de creación literaria, así como una inspiración para todos los que escriben.
