During the last hundred years, the private and public voices of
Latin American poetry have offered a wealth of imaginative
responses to the region's social and political experiences. In the
face of capitalist modernization, dictatorship and imperialist
domination, poets have fought back. The Gathering of Voices argues
that the best of Latin American poetry has set out to rediscover
its roots in local experience and to enter a dialogue with the
"ordinary" discourses of popular culture and tradition. The
implication is that an alternative response to oppression is
possible, one inspired by the shared global experiences of
alienation, exclusion and exploitation. The possibility of a
universal emancipation is evoked in the transformation of language.
Each chapter of the volume explores a crucial moment in this
dialogue of voices, focusing on key texts, including works by
Cardenal, Neruda, Vallejo and the Andrades. With extensive studies
of the previously neglected tradition of Brazilian verse, the book
provides a guide to the history of poetic debate and practice in
20th-century Latin America. The book includes complete poems of the
artists discussed and should appeal to a general readership
interested in Latin American culture. It is also a useful text for
courses in literature and poetry.
