Editor’s Note

Abstract

Dear Readers,
This issue of ESLA includes poetry and an academic article from different parts of the world. In the poetry section, you will find the verses of poets: Sonakshi Srivastava, from Indraprastha University, Delhi; Constanza Contreras, from the University of Michigan and based in Dublin, Ireland; and María Inés Zaldívar and translator Edward González, from Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago, Chile. Poetry can reveal the body’s need to communicate, whispering in languages that transgress the limits of everyday speech. These poets’ words transport us to that space, where we may access the body’s unique wisdom. [ . . . ]
