La charla se enfocará en iluminar los lazos estéticos y la red de vínculos y solidaridades que un puñado de escritoras centroamericanas establecieron entre ellas durante las décadas de 1940 y 1950, haciendo centro en la trayectoria errante de la poeta costarricense Eunice Odio. Siguiendo con la metáfora abiertamente textil de la red, el propósito de la charla es detenerse en “envés de la urdimbre” del proceso literario latinoamericano del período ya que resulta evidente una vez más que las redes están hechas de los hilos y los nudos pero también de los vacíos y los silencios.
