Teresa Amy height - How tall is Teresa Amy?

According to the critic and poet Alfredo Fressia [es] , "Teresa Amy's original place in current Uruguayan poetry is that of polyphony – the union of the many voices that can fit on the written page, including that of a tradition in dialogue with Eastern Europe, together with the baroque of the concept, and the voice of erudition." Fressia adds: "It is impossible, indeed, not to admire her skill with language, the wise interruptions of the syntactic flow, and the ability to create a narrative with a succession of nominal groups, as in her poem 'Inventario mediterráneo', an economy of language comparable only to the famous 'Le message' by Jacques Prévert."

As a translator, she completed the first Spanish editions of Czech poet Jan Skácel, and also translated works by Miloš Crnjanski and Vlada Urošević [mk] . She prepared a selection of Macedonian poets, Sobre el hilo que se llama tiempo, and the Czech poetry anthologies Animales silenciosos and 20 del XX. In 2011 she published the poetry collection Jade, which received an Annual Literature Award from the Ministry of Education and Culture. In 2013 she published Un huésped en casa, memorias de una traducción, in which she analyzes the craft of translation.

Amy coordinated live reading cycles in Montevideo, such as "Poesía cuerpo a cuerpo" and "7 poetas capitales", with the participation of Idea Vilariño, among others. She took part in international poetry festivals such as the Poetic Evenings of Struga (Macedonia, 2001), Salida al Mar (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2010), and the Carlos Pellicer Cámara Ibero-American Poetry Encounter (Villahermosa, Mexico, 2016).

In 1995 she published her first book of poetry, entitled Corazón de roble. She followed this in subsequent years with the collections Merodeador y otros poemas, Cuaderno de las islas, Cortejo Mínimo, Jade, and Brilla: 20 poemas para Marco, and her poems appeared in several Uruguayan and foreign anthologies.
