Biography

Rosa María Teresa Adriasola Olave was born in Lebu on 2 July 1951.[1] She began writing poetry at an early age. Her basic education took place in Chillán. She later undertook secondary studies at the, a school for nuns. In 1969, she majored in philosophy at the, where she remained for four years.[2] After the 1973 coup d'état by General Augusto Pinochet against the Popular Unity government, in 1975, she studied literature at the Department of Humanistic Studies of the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Mathematics, then directed by Cristián Huneeus, with teachers such as Jorge Guzmán,, Enrique Lihn, and Nicanor Parra.[3]

In 1979, she was arrested on the street by agents of the National Information Center (CNI), and was held in the for five days (they had mistaken her for another person they called the submachine gun woman).[1] [2] To date, she has not produced any testimony about this fact, explaining in a 2016 interview, "It is something that I cannot do yet, because you have to have the right perspective."[3] The following year, she began to write La bandera de Chile while "under a lot of pressure".

The book, a diary of poetic reflections on Chile and its emblems, would not be formally published for 10 years. It circulated clandestinely in the form of mimeographed copies during the military dictatorship, and those poems became symbolic of the resistance.[1] [4]

In 1986, ¡Arre! Halley Arre! was released, and since then Elvira Hernández has continued to publish both poetry books and essays (the latter signed with her real name, Teresa Adriasola).

Her work has been associated with "neo-avant-garde" poets such as Raúl Zurita, Soledad Fariña, Verónica Zondek and Juan Luis Martínez.[5] However, the author has another opinion:

She has written essays jointly with Soledad Fariña and Verónica Zondek.
