Yania Tierra

Aida Cartagena Portalatin in a documentary poem included a character named Yania Tierra, a female personification of the nation of the Dominican Republic.

This Spanish language poem, published in 1981, traced the history of the Dominican Republic, using Yania Tierra as a view point character. Eighty-two pages long, the poem narrates the nation's history and is written in an avant-garde Latin American style. There is also a bilingual version of Yania Tierra with an introduction by M.J. Fenwick and translated by Fenwick with Rosabelle White.
