Stella Corvalán Vega (1913–1994) was a Chilean writer and poet.[2] She mainly explored the genre of poetry ascribing itself to an aesthetic stance close to surrealism.[3] She is included together with Homero Arce, María E. Piwonka, Mila Oyarzún, and others in the group of writers known as the Generation of '38.[4]

Biography

One of Corvalán's first publications was Sombra en el aire in 1940, which in the opinion of writer and literary critic Carlos René Correa, "stands out with signs of original class, of expressive force and of true depth."[5] Her poetic work "is characterized by the ability to evoke the absent, and the ability to organize in her texts what is politically called 'the feminine', that is, the world of emotions, intuition, sensitivity tied to a knowledge of those emotions."

Her work was published and recognized in various countries in Latin America and Europe, followed by renowned intellectuals such as Francis de Miomandre, Pío Baroja, and Giovanni Papini, illustrated by artists such as Agnes Van Den Brandeler in Sinfonía del viento (Madrid, 1951),[6] and referenced by writers like Uruguayan Juana de Ibarbourou in the poem A Stella Corvalán.[7]
