Alfonsina Storni

We all read her work in class. Her poetry is touching to no end. I wrote my first paper in World Classics on this woman's poem,"I'm Going To Sleep." It was about her suicide and how she prepared herself for the earth excepting her. But her work touched some people even more then just us... Stoni influenced other writings all over the world. The one particular person she made an impression on that caught my attention was an artist. He is a Latin American artist that fifty years later used her influences in his wok. He liked to paint her face in his pieces as well as try to catch the emotion in which she preached so strongly in her own work. He appreciated her views and thoughts on life and that's why he felt it necessary to keep her name alive through his artwork. Hopefully she has influenced us as deeply as she influenced him.
