Educated in both Chile and England, Trini's collection of poetry has been inspired by Louis Zukofsky, Allen Fisher and Philip Larkin. Her first novel was greatly influenced by the writings of Gabriel García Márquez, whose style of Magic Realism was adapted to provide a dreamy and inventive plot about the ongoing struggles of growing up in Chile.
