Dina Posada

Dina Posada (born 1946, El Salvador) is one of Central America’s best known contemporary poets since the publication of Fuego sobre el madero (1996), a collection of poems that celebrate love, eroticism and the female body.

A Salvadoran-Guatemalan citizen, Posada studied journalism in El Salvador and psychology in Guatemala—where she has resided since 1970. She worked in El Salvador’s La Prensa Gráfica from 1965 to 1969, and currently is a contributing literary writer to several publications in Guatemala.

Since Fuego sobre el madero, Posada’s poetry has generated substantial literary criticism in Latin America, the United States and Europe, among which is the title Afrodita en el trópico (Scripta Humanistica, 1999). Some of Posada’s poems have been translated into other languages and can be found in several local and international anthologies; her work has also inspired other artistic endeavors, such as "Novembre Vaca" (Barcelona, 2005) and "Exilio," a mural exposition (Canada, 2004).
