      40. “I Always Followed My Internal Compass”. Carlotta Reads Puerto Rican Poet Julia de Burgos in Spanish & English
      Jan 7 2026

      In this episode of Elixir, Helen is talking to Carlotta about the poem ‘Yo misma fui mi ruta’ by the Puerto Rican poet Julia de Burgos (1914-1953)

      Carlotta and Helen explore themes of identity, belonging, and the personal connection she feels to the poem having travelled to Latin America from the UK before moving to Madrid with her partner. The conversation delves into the significance of following one's internal compass and the impact of our surroundings on personal choices. They also discuss the challenges of translation. In this case, Spanish to English.

      Original music by Tom Platts accompanies the readings.
