Of Earth and Sea: A Chilean Memoir

An award-winning poet and well-known advocate for women in Third World Countries, Agosín (Latin American studies, Wellesley College) presents a series of prose vignettes and free verse reflecting her childhood in Chile--especially during the US-sponsored coup in 1973 and the 17 years of dictatorship--and her thoughts of Chile as an expatriate and a minority Jew in the US.
