Life

Latorre was born in Punta Arenas, Chile. In the 1940s, she moved to Santiago to pursue a career as a literature teacher at Universidad de Chile. During that same period, she married Eduardo Bolt, with whom she founded the Bolt Art Gallery, at Londres #92, in the heart of the cultural and historic Santiago Neighborhood Barrio París-Londres.[1] In 1965, Latorre founded the Literature magazine "Portal"[2] with Pablo Neruda as a collaborator, including, then inedit, poems such as "Corona del archipiélago para Rubén Azócar" (which triggered Neruda's famous rivalry with Pablo de Rokha),[3] "Corbata para Nicanor Parra" and "Oda al hombre sencillo".[4] Among the writers published in its pages were Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Nicolás Guillén, Jorge Teillier, Francisco Coloane, Roque Esteban Scarpa and Leopoldo Castedo.[5]

At the same time Latorre debuted as a writer herself with the Short Story collection "Galería clausurada" (1964), beginning a writing career that has included fiction, essay, memoires and, mostly, poetry, receiving special attention by important critics and writers of its time, like Hernan del Solar, Andres Sabella and Maria Luisa Bombal.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
