Francisca Paz Rojas was born in Santiago de Chile in 1974, during the Pinochet dictatorship. At the age of 18, she moved to Italy, where she still lives and dedicates herself to theatre, poetry, foreign literature and the translation from Spanish of various texts by Chilean authors. She is part of the Compagnia delle Poete founded by Mia Lecomte and is one of the authors in the BASILI&LIMM database founded by Armando Gnisci. Her poems have been published in various magazines, collective volumes and anthologies and later collected in two volumes: Arsenale (2009) and Del non sapere (2023). She writes both in her native language and in Italian. Some of the most interesting aspects in her work are a certain metapoetic tendency and the presence of the themes of blocked memory and repression.
