ANVERSO:
Su anverso conmemora el Centenario de la famosa Poetiza
Julia de Burgos, 1914 - 2014, cuya obra aboga por la libertad, el feminismo, y la igualdad de derechos. Una bandera Puertorriqueña le sirve de fondo como si fuera el Rio Grande de Loíza, al cual compara en su famoso poema con el inagotable llorar de la patria por el sufrimiento ante las injusticias del imperialismo Yanqui de su época. En época moderna, la obra de Julia de Burgos ha sido reconocida tanto en latinoamérica, como en el propio Estados Unidos, donde su obra, ya traducida al inglés, es fuente de motivación. Su nombre adorna varias escuelas públicas e institutos de alta enseñanza en la Nación Americana, y hasta el propio gobierno federal ha  producido un sello postal en su memoria.
REVERSO:
Su reverso exhorta a las jóvenes mujeres de ahora a educarse, valorarse y respetarse a si mismas, a sobresalir en la vida, y sobre todo a protegerse contra el abuso y el sexo no deseado sin protección, debido al peligro prevalente del SIDA, representado por una Cinta Roja. A su izquierda se levanta una garita, símbolo de fortaleza y determinación, mientras a su derecha aparece el sol en la distancia, representando un futuro brillante.
COMPOSICION:
Cada pieza mide 24.5mm de diámetro y 2mm de ancho, pesa 7.6 gramos, y posee borde estriado. La tirada total se limitó a
100
piezas enchapadas de 0.999 plata pura.
Viene en capsulada de plástico transparente protector contra rayazos, la cual además evita que su plata obscurezca prematuramente debido a los elementos del aire.
ENGLISH:
Howdy!
Here you have a magnificent Puerto Rico fantasy coin, based on the Washington Quarter Dollar, but reading "Island of Puerto Rico" / "Una Peseta (local name for Quarter)" Following the trend of many countries to show a Ribbon symbol on its coinage and medals, to signify awareness of things ranging from cancer, to peace, to military service, this time we chose a Red Ribbon, to signify HIV awareness, specially to younger women.
OBVERSE:
It's obverse commemorates Julia de Burgos centennial, 1914 - 2014, a famous poet whose work represents the struggle for liberty, women's rights, and equality. A Puerto Rican flag at her back represents the Loiza River, which in her most famous poem she compares to her native land's endless crying of the political injustices of her day. Julia's work is now available in English, various schools and post secondary institutes in various states carry her name, and even the Federal Government issued a stamp to commemorate her literary contribution to the country.
REVERSE:
Its reverse appeals to modern women to get educated, to develop a sense of self respect and preservation, and to excell, but to specially be aware of the hazards behind unwanted and/or unprotected sex, and the forever present danger of HIV, represented by a Red ribbon at center. A sentry box to the left represents Strenght and determination, while a sun and its brilliance on the far right may represent either a brilliant future, or a fading hope, an ambivalence forever present and dependent on one's own acts.
COMPOSITION:
Each piece measures 24.5mm x 2mm, has a weight of 7.6 grams, and has reeded edges, and dark red enamel on reverse. It is finished in pure 0.999 Silver clad, and comes in its protective plastic capsule, to save it from scratches, while pre
s
erving its silver tone from the inclemency of the weather. There is a total mintage of a mere
100
pieces.
BIOGRAPHY:
Julia de Burgos
(February 17, 1914 – July 6, 1953) was a poet from
Puerto Rico
. As an advocate of
Puerto Rican independence
, she served as Secretary General of the Daughters of Freedom, the women's branch of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party. She was also a
civil rights
activist
for women and African/Afro-Caribbean writers.
EARLY YEARS
Julia de Burgos (birth name:
Julia Constanza de Burgos García
) was born to Francisco Burgos Hans (a farmer) and Paula García de Burgos. Although her father worked for the National Guard and farmed near the town of Carolina, Puerto Rico, where she was born, the family later moved to the barrio of Santa Cruz of the same city. She was the oldest of thirteen children, and six of her youngest siblings died of malnutrition. Her first work was
Río Grande de Loíza
. According to Burgos: "My childhood was all a poem in the river, and a river in the poem of my first dreams."
After she graduated from Muñoz Rivera Primary School in 1928, her family moved to Rio Piedras where she was awarded a scholarship to attend
University High School
. In 1931, she enrolled in
University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus
to become a teacher.
In 1933, Burgos graduated at the age of 19 from the
University of Puerto Rico
with a degree in teaching. She became a teacher and worked at Feijoo Elementary School in Barrio Cedro Arriba of
Naranjito, Puerto Rico
. She also worked as writer for a children's program on public radio, but was reportedly fired for her political beliefs. Among her early influences were
Luis Lloréns Torres
,
Clara Lair
,
Rafael Alberti
and
Pablo Neruda
.
NATIONALIST
In 1934, she married Ruben Rodrigues Beauchamp and ended her teaching career. In 1936, she was a member of the
Puerto Rican Nationalist Party
(Partido Nacionalista de Puerto Rico) and elected Secretary General of the Daughters of Freedom, a non-partisan women's organization which was the women's branch of the Nationalist Party. The Puerto Rican Nationalist Party was the independence party headed by
Pedro Albizu Campos
, a Puerto Rican Nationalist. She divorced her husband in 1937.
LITERATURE
By the early 1930s, Burgos was already a published writer in journals and newspapers. She published three books which contained a collection of her poems. For her first two books, she traveled around the island promoting herself by giving book readings. Her third book was published
posthumously
in 1954. Burgos's lyrical poems are a combination of the intimate, the land and the social struggle of the oppressed. Many critics assert that her poetry anticipated the work of feminist writers and poets as well as that of other Hispanic authors. In one of her poems, she writes: “I am life, strength, woman.”
Burgos received awards and recognition for her work and was celebrated by poets including
Pablo Neruda
, who stated that her calling was to be the greatest poet of the
Americas
.
Among Julia de Burgos' works are:
El Rio Grande de Loiza
Poema para Mi Muerte
(My Death Poem),
Yo Misma Fui Mi Ruta
(I Was My Own Path),
Alba de Mi Silencio
(Dawn of My Silence),
Alta Mar y Gaviota
LATER YEARS
"
Río Grande de Loíza
!... Great river.
Great flood of tears... save those greater that come from the eyes of my soul for my enslaved people" Julia de Burgos, "
El Rio Grande de Loiza
"
Later in life, Burgos became romantically involved with Dr. Juan Isidro Jimenes Grullón, a
Dominican
physician. According to Grullón, many of her poems during that time were inspired by the love that she felt for him. In 1939, Burgos and Jimenes Grullón traveled first to
Cuba
where she attended the
University of Havana
and then later to
New York
where she worked as a journalist for
Pueblos Hispanos
, a progressive newspaper.
Shortly after their arrival in Cuba, Burgos' relationship with Jimenes Grullón began to show tension. After trying to save her relationship, she instead left and returned once again to New York, however this time alone, where she took menial jobs to support herself. In 1943, she married Armando Marín, a musician from
Vieques
. In 1947, the marriage also ended in divorce, lapsing Burgos into further depression and alcoholism.
In February 1953, she wrote one of her last poems, "Farewell in
Welfare Island
". It was written during her last hospitalization and is believed
to be the only poem she wrote in English. In the poem she foreshadows her death and reveals an ever darker concept of life:
"Farewell in
Welfare Island
"
By:Julia de Burgos
It has to be from here,
right this instance,
my cry into the world.
My cry that is no more mine,
but hers and his forever,
the comrades of my silence,
the phantoms of my grave
On June 28, 1953, Julia de Burgos left the home of a relative in
Brooklyn
, where she had been residing. She disappeared without leaving a clue as to where she went.
It was later discovered that on July 6, 1953, she collapsed on a sidewalk in the
Spanish Harlem
section of
Manhattan
, and later died of pneumonia at a hospital in
Harlem
at the age of 39. Since no one claimed her body and she had no identification on her, the city gave her a pauper's burial on
Hart Island
, the city's only
potter's field
.
Eventually, some of her friends and relatives were able to trace her, find her grave, and claim her body. A committee was organized in Puerto Rico, presided over by
Dr. Margot Arce de Vázquez
, to have her remains transferred to the island. Burgos' remains arrived on September 6, 1953 and funeral services for her were held at the Puerto Rican Atheneum. She was given a hero's burial at the Municipal Cemetery of Carolina. A monument was later built at her burial site by the City of Carolina.
