Carmen Conde (1907-1996) lived and worked in the Republican zone
during the Spanish Civil War while her husband served at the front
line. Her third collection of poetry, While the Men are Dying was
written in Valencia as bombs fell, her city endured privation and
her country was being torn apart. When the war ended, a known
pro-Republican intellectual, she went into hiding and was forced to
write under pseudonyms to make a living. These prose poems which
describe the full horror of the impact of war on a civilian
population and which empathise deeply with the sacrifice of the
young men at the front were first published in Spain thirty years
later, by then too late to be recognised as some of the most
important and powerful poetry to emerge from the Spanish Civil War.
