| Estrella del Valle’s work is of great interest for its fusing of the Biblical and mythological --especially with relation to images of women -- and a highly crafted poetic sensibility that draws its strength from such diverse modern and classical sources as Silvia Tomasa Rivera, Jorge Manrique, and the Greek Tragedies. She is the prize-winning author of such collections as La cortesana de Dannan, (Instituto Veracruzano de la Cultura), and her work has appeared in numerous journals. |
