Her rich experiences growing up in the island, her extensive research on the history of Puerto Rico, and training as a visual artist contribute depth and beauty to her narratives. In addition, her training as a psychologist and study of shamanism bring complexity and wisdom to her characters. ¡Jíbara! is de Monteflores’ third novel, after Cantando Bajito / Singing Softly (Aunt Lute, 1989) and Possessions (Dog Ear Publishing, 2009). She wrote and produced a play, Blood Lines (1995), and has written poetry, essays, and professional articles. She studied with Susan Griffin (Woman and Nature) and earlier attended the Art Students League of New York and the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris. De Monteflores is currently working on interrelated stories (Seña Alba Stories) as well as a spiritual memoir (A Shaman Notebook) illustrated with her own pen drawings.voir moins
