Cristalina Parra’s debut poetry collection Tambaleos was published by Grupo Planeta in 2020. Cristalina is the granddaughter of Chilean Antipoet Nicanor Parra. Through her grandfather and the Chilean poetic legacy, she has learned many things, but the most important thing is the habit of always carrying a notebook and a pencil to write and reflect. With that said, writings and reflections make up Tambaleos. She compiles the notes taken during the year Nicanor died, when she finished school and left Chile to study art history at the New York University headquarters in the United Arab Emirates. The poems in the collection dance between English and Spanish at times, which emphasizes the importance of the poet’s position between all languages. The translations of these poems are grown from the originals’ form and language. However, sound drove the translations, following the young poet’s voice through nostalgia, grief, and womanhood. Cristalina documents keen observations of her memories, pens her world, and traverses the tightrope connecting herself to others.
