"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.

It celebrates life while standing in its very midst."--Eduardo Galeano, from the Foreword
