About Norah Borges

In Switzerland, Borges wrote and illustrated her first poetry book, Notas lejanas (1915). After its publication, Borges and her family hoped to return to Argentina, but their stay in Europe was extended by four years because of the First World War. In the September-October 1924 issue of Martin Fierro, Borges' first collection of poems called Calle de la tarde were displayed.
