Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Storni is a remarkable poet, and I'm glad that Poetry Daily has given her a bit of deserved attention!

In 2009, during my annual visit to Argentina, I visited Mar del Plata and experienced deep sorrow on visiting the site of Alfonsina's suicide. I've studied her work (in Spanish) quite extensively, and it is truly wonderful. Her images (as you can see from Nick's translation) are remarkable, haunting, and memorable. I'm hoping to write a paper on Storni for Mezzo Cammin but much research still remains. I will also include some of my translations of her "Sea" poems. My own poem, "Beach Dogs" bears a reference to Alfonsina in its final lines.
