"At last, a marvelous translation into English of the soulful and
celebratory and heartbreaking words of Juan Gelman, one of Latin
America's most extraordinary poets."--Ariel Dorfman, author of
"Death and the Maiden
"Perhaps the most admirable element of [Gelman's] poetry is the
unthinkable tenderness he shows where paroxysms of rejection and
denouncement would be justified, or his calling upon so many
shadows for one voice to lull and comfort, a permanent caress of
words on unknown tombs."--Julio Cortazar
"Gelman's poetry is epic in its scope--no corner of life goes
unnoticed in this work. Here we find politics and history as seen
through one vital human spirit. Rendered in a breathless style,
this is the diary of a human heart in a rough world where artistry
is the first salvation."--Oscar Hijuelos
"This selection of Juan Gelman's poetry introduces to an
English-speaking readership the full range of Argentina's leading
poet and a chief architect of Latin America's postcolonial social
conscience."--Victor Perera, author of "Unfinished Conquest: The
Tragedy of Guatemala
"This is a voice that sings and makes others sing. It speaks of
struggles and dignity: It offers a faith that springs from doubt
and a sense of freeedom strengthened by prison walls. It celebrates
life while standing in its very midst."--Eduardo Galeano, from the
Foreword
