Knowing that she was incurably ill, Storni committed suicide On October 25, 1938, Mar del Plata, Argentina.

At an early age, Storni joined a theatrical troupe and later taught school in the rural areas of Argentina.

A volume containing all her poetry, Obra poetica completa (“Complete Poetical Works”), was published in 1961.

In the 1930s, influenced by, among others, Federico García Lorca, Storni returned to poetry, publishing El mundo de siete pozos and Mascarilla y trébol.

Her first book, La inquietud del rosal (1916; “The Restless Rose Garden”), brought her recognition from the literary circles in Buenos Aires.

Alfonsina Storni was born on May 29, 1892, Sala Capriasca, Switzerland.
