Biography
Lucha Corpi is a celebrated Chicana author born in Jaltipan Veracruz in 1945. She has received numerous literary awards,
including a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and the Latino Hallmark Book Award. She was president of the
Centro Chicano de Escritores (Chicano Writers Center), and a member of the international feminist mystery novel circle,
Sisters in Crime. Currently, she lives and teaches English in Oakland, California. Her poems have appeared in literary
magazines anthologies, and in the collection, Fireflight (1976).
Corpi was first introduced to poetry through the poetic rhythm of song. She once said, “My father liked singing and music
very much, many different kinds and types of music. Through him I developed a sense of musicality…or what you call
poetic rhythm. When I write now I try to create sounds that have a musical tone. I still write in Spanish because the tones I
learned as a child were all in Spanish.”
Her early childhood teachers encouraged these talents by having her perform recitals and memorize poems. In 1964, she
came to California at the age of nineteen, enrolling at the University of California Berkeley. She received her B.A. from the
University of California at Berkeley, and her M.A. from San Francisco State University in World and Comparative Literature.
Lucha Corpi, who goes by the name “Luz”, began writing during a difficult period in her life, simply to express all the pent
up feelings she was experiencing. She found that she had an innate understanding of words. As she says, “I could charge
them with electricity, make them shine, and make them do what I wanted them to do.”
Nearly all of Lucha Corpi’s poems have been translated into English by Catherine Rodriguez-Nieto, a writer in her own right
and a master of translation.

Corpi sums up the relationship of her educational experience to her writing in the following manner, “I don’t consider
writing a profession. Its reason for existing is different. Education is important because it allows you to read and study
works that help you in the craft of your writing, the apparatus, the structure in which you place your experience. That is
useful. But, education can also intimidate you so that you can never write.”
Lucha Corpi is part of the great renaissance in Latino literature taking place throughout the United States. Her major works
include, Delia's Song (1984), Eulogy for a Brown Angel (1992), Cactus Blood (1995), Palabras de mediodia/Noon Words
(1980), Variations on a Storm (1990) and Where Fireflies Dance (1997). Eulogy for a Brown Angel received the 1992 PEN
Oakland Josephine Miles Award and the 1992 Multicultural Publishers' Exchange Award.
