Welcome to Litsy!

I am reading Dulce María Loynaz's selected poems - including one about snow - in the original Spanish as much as possible, but I'm thankful for the crutch that is the French translation on the opposite page! I am feeling quite proud of myself 😇 😋

Also very good.

My favorite room in the house, the library. It makes everything else in my day just fall away.

Day 2

"The world gave me many things, but the only thing I ever kept was absolutely solitude."
("Muchas cosas me dieron en el mundo: sólo es mía la pura soledad.")

Wonderful. The perfect melding of the individual and the universal. #poetry #womenintranslation #translation #Cubanliterature

"The world gave me many things, but the only thing I ever kept was absolute solitude." Falling into selected poems by Dulce María Loynaz, translated by James O'Connor. Beautiful volume from Archipelago Books.
