In the world of Chilean poet Ariel Dorfman, men and women can be
forced to choose between leaving their country or dying for it. The
living risk losing everything, but what they hold onto—love,
faith, hope, truth—might change the world. It is this subversive
possibility that speaks through these poems. A succession of
voices—exiles, activists, separated lovers, the families of those
victimized by political violence—gives an account of ruptured
safety. They bear witness to the resilience of the human spirit in
the face of personal and social damage in the aftermath of terror.
The first bilingual edition of Dorfman’s work, In Case of Fire in
a Foreign Land includes ten new poems and a new preface, and brings
back into print the classic poems of the celebrated Last Waltz in
Santiago. Always an eloquent voice against the ravages of
inhumanity, Dorfman’s poems, like his acclaimed novels, continue
to be a searing testimony of hope in the midst of despair.
