Biography
Biography
Along with Homero Arce, Stella Corvalán, Mila Oyarzún, among others, María Elvira Piwonka Moreno is included in a group of writers close to the Generation of '38. Alongside María Monvel, Chela Reyes, Sylvia Moore, Gladys Thein, Mila Oyarzún and Irma Astorga, Piwonka is included within the so-called “new poetry” of Chile from the late 1950s. One of the first literary works published by her was the poetry book Íntima through the Tegualda publishing house (1946). In 1949, she received the Santiago Municipal Poetry Prize for her second publication: Llamarlo amor (Call it love). In 1985, the poem "La pequeña súplica" (The small plea) from the book Intima was set to music by the singer-songwriter Norman Ilic, and won the first prize in the program "Esquinazo" on TV Channel 13 in a contest called "musicalización de poemas" (musicalization of poems).
