The rest of her Lagar poems will be published posthumously by her literary heir, Doris Dana. Part of the Lagar poems she published in 1954. For this reason I have assembled these notes about the Poema de Chile taken from conversations with Gabriela during the last four years of her life which she spent for the most part working on the Poema and on her Lagar poems. Although her critics have not been careful to separate myths from facts, most of these errors can be corrected by referring to books or articles about her-but not the mistakes about her as yet unpublished Poema de Chile. In the numerous articles that appeared in newspapers and magazines after her death the factual mistakes about her life and writings were endless.
The distinguished Chilean poet, Gabriela Mistral, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1945, died in Hempstead, Long Island, on January 10, 1957, of cancer.
