Autorenporträt
Natasha Trethewey (1966, Gulfport, Misisipi). Ganadora del Premio Pulitzer de Poesía en 2007 por su obra 'Guardia nativa' (Bartleby, 2009), fue elegida por el director de la Biblioteca del Congreso como Poeta Laureada de Estados Unidos tanto en 2012 como en 2013. Es miembro de dos academias literarias esenciales en su país: la Academia Estadounidense de Artes y Ciencias y la Academia de Poetas Estadounidenses. En su nombramiento, el canciller de la Academia de Poetas Estadounidenses, David St. John, dijo que Trethewey 'es una de nuestras maestras formales, una poeta de exquisita delicadeza y aplomo que revela una y otra vez las desigualdades raciales e históricas de nuestro país y la huella indeleble de estas injusticias. Rara vez alguna intersección poética de la experiencia cultural y personal se ha hecho sentir de manera más inevitable, más dolorosa o profunda'.
