Mercedes de Acosta (1893-1968), estadounidense de padre cubano y madre española, es aún, como escritora, una desconocida para el público hispanohablante, porque su poesía, su prosa y su teatro --escritos originalmente en inglés-- son prácticamente inexistentes en español y suelen ser opacados por su biografía amorosa --la autora fue amante de una constelación de relevantes artistas, tales como Eva Le Gallienne, Isadora Duncan, Greta Garbo y Marlene Dietrich.
Imposeída (46 poemas) constituye la primera compilación y traducción al español de un conjunto significativo de sus tres poemarios publicados en vida. Entre temas íntimos y sociales, Mercedes de Acosta plasmó en Moods (1919, Mudanzas), Archways of Life (1921, Arcos de vida) y Streets and Shadows (1922, Calles y sombras) la experiencia urbana y homoafectiva de una época turbulenta y transgresora.
Imposeída, a la venta aquí en Createspace.
"Raving Beauty", below, is a song cycle (The Unrequited Lover's Lament, The Sisters, Rushing through the garden) based on the life of Mercedes De Acosta, a socialite who had no choice but to hide her lesbian desires. The song cycle explores Acosta's relationships with the women in her life, including actress Greta Garbo, dancer Isadora Duncan, and Acosta's sister, the fashion icon Rita Lydig. A famed poet, playwright and socialite, Acosta was a prominent figure in early 20th century gay society, known for her numerous affairs with Hollywood's elite.

You were pure corona
some days—I was allowed
a glimpse—and some days
you were full-on darkness.
some days—I was allowed
a glimpse—and some days
you were full-on darkness.
Some days it was best
to look away.
to look away.
You gave me little else
but my own shadow,
but my own shadow,
and so I shadowed you.
I sang for you.
I was the vowel slipped in
among your consonants.
I was your constant.
I never suffered
and I suffered always
—me with my sun-burnt heart.

laStrada
ah, estas canciones... banda sonora de mis diez años cubanos, escondida detrás de las arecas del patio matando hormigas, escuchando el radio en la distancia... cancioncitas italianas y francesas que reemplazaron el rock americano... las versiones de canciones de los beatles hechas por los mustang españoles... las cursilerías del amor, del desamor... y marta strada, reina del carnaval del melodrama del feeling cubiche de los 60, y yo... gordita con sandalias rusas, en shorts y camisita de guinga rojiblanca, imitándola detrás de las arecas, sacudiendo la cabeza desgañitándome para espantar los fantasmas que habitaban el cuartico de desahogo donde estaban los trastes y el lavadero...

I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.
