Great Regulars: [Elizabeth] Horan also consulted

many unpublished letters of [Gabriela] Mistral in the U.S. Library of Congress.

"For me, it's important to think about whether or not she was crazy," said Horan. "I think that she wrote some of her best poetry when in some sense she was crazy. There are certain disorders that are evident when you read her letters, and certain groups and people that she saw as her enemies."
