Biografía:
Puerto Rican writer and poetess with a knack to interpret the history of her country. She started working as an editor for a short-lived literary magazine entitled Zone: Load and Unload that stretched out from 1972 to 1975 and whose premiere goal was –according to the founder herself- to renew literature in her country that was trapped in ambiguity at the time.That was only a reflection of the frustration sentiment that many Puerto Ricans had toward the establishment of the Associated Free State. Therefore, the country's writers felt the need to reaffirm themselves and go over their own history. That was the case of Rosario Ferre. From a literary standpoint, such writers as Garcia Marquez, Vargas Llosa and Julio Cortazar, with their own irony, history revision and memoirs, urged her to walk off the beaten tracks and draw closer to the history of her country and her own through both poetry and fiction. Good cases in point are The Pandora Papers (1976) and Fables of Bled to Death Cranes (1982), as well as her novel Cursed Love (1986), texts in which she delved into the interrelations of sexes, races and social classes. As an essayist, she published Siege of Eros in 1980, a research study about Puerto Rican and foreign feminists with their contributions to the national literature and culture.
