La corta e intensa vida de Julia de Burgos en la voz de una escritora que nos revela otro rostro de la icónica poeta puertorriqueña.

Novela ganadora de la beca John S. Guggenheim

"Es un libro que habla de la discriminación, los deseos y los miedos, del fulgor y el furor de la vida, del horror de la vejez, del vínculo entre madres e hijas y, sobre todo, de la dignidad de haber sido consideradas indignas". --Rosa Montero, escritora galardonada con una amplia obra

La escritora ha publicado una biografía sobre la emblemática y controversial Julia de Burgos. Con su libro, recorre diferentes ciudades, asiste a presentaciones y da conferencias mientras intenta mantener su familia a flote.

Lo que empieza como un simple encargo, escribir sobre Julia, terminará siendo una manera de entender mejor al personaje y su obra, pero también un mapa para entender la vida de tantas autoras latinoamericanas, incluso la propia. Paralelismos, intereses y valores comunes, o ser dos escritoras afrocaribeñas que se abren paso en los elitistas círculos literarios, tejen el diálogo entre ambas voces.

Esta es la historia de dos mujeres que hacen de la literatura un lugar de resistencia y libertad.

"La otra Julia es una canción de una artista a otra, un agradecimiento y celebración de ambas vidas, distintas pero conectadas por el arte. ¡Bravo!". --Esmeralda Santiago, autora de los bestseller Las madres y Cuando era puertorriqueña, entre otros

"Mayra Santos-Febres traza un paralelo entre dos escritoras: dos mujeres negras en una isla 'azotada por huracanes, olvido y pobreza' que retan al destino, se sobreponen a las adversidades y saben brillar". --Pilar Quintana, autora de las novelas galardonadas Los abismos (Premio Alfaguara) y La perra.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The short and intense life of Julia de Burgos as told by an author who shows us another side of the iconic Puerto Rican poet.

Winner of a John S. Guggenheim fellowship

The author has published a biography of the famous and controversial Julia de Burgos. She embarks on a book tour of different cities, attends presentations and gives talks, all while trying to keep her family afloat.

What begins as a simple assignment, to write about Julia, becomes an entry point to better understand the poet and her work, but also a framework for exploring the lives of other female Latin American writers, including the author's own. Parallel interests and shared values as two Afro-Caribbean authors breaking into elite literary circles bridge the dialogue between the two voices.

This is the story of two women who find resistance and freedom in literature.

helped treat my sore neck
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Camping Pillow(Pack of 1)
This pillow — after dialing in the right amount of shredded foam — has greatly helped my sore neck. Initially, I had to remove some foam. Then I gradually added foam until it reached optimum comfort and support. It is also CPAP-friendly — especially when I position my head near the pillow's edge. (I am a left-side sleeper.) I like the travel size because I use a bulky hugging pillow to ease stress on my shoulder and elbow. That makes my side of the bed feel cramped if using a larger head pillow. A smaller pillow is easy to flip end-to-end in the middle of the night. I have spent lots of money on pillows over the years, but this is the best I've ever had for relieving [1] neck pain and [2] CPAP mask seal problems. Very comfortable, supportive, and affordable. I did not notice any unpleasant smell — and I am usually sensitive to that kind of thing. Would highly recommend.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

Comfortable and stays cool
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 1)
Great pillow. When i opened it, i noticed a strange smell, i assumed its the smell of whatever they use to make the pillow stay cool. You have to fluff it for a good amount of time to make sure the cooling agent spreads well in the foam. Is what i assumed atleast. Its a perfect amount of softness for me. Pair it with some bamboo pillow cases and you got a good night of sleep

Comfortable and Supportive, but Adjust the Filling
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I’m very happy with this pillow. The size is big and it feels soft while still providing good support, perfect for midnight scrolling on TikTok. One thing to keep in mind is that it can feel a little too tall if you use all of the filling that comes with it. The good news is that you can easily adjust the amount of filling to find the height that works best for your sleeping position. Once I customized it, it was much more comfortable. Overall, great quality, comfortable, and worth the purchase.
