Abstract

This article is characterized by addressing the literary figure of Gabriela Mistral, a Chilean poet whose life and work illuminate that exhausting emotional burden. Through the analysis of the poem "Palabras Serenas" extracted from her first book Desolación (1922), from the section "Dolor a su sombra", languages of freedom emerge from subjectivity. Since her first publication at the Instituto de las Españas, Mistral raised her strong voice against the prevailing pain, hopelessness, a change of vision, but likewise a path of light. Her long trajectory, marked by solitude and hope, resulted in the Nobel Prize in Literature (1945). This brief study proposes a subjective reading of a selected work that revalues the woman poet as a key agent within society.
