Bøker av Juan Gelman

In To World, poems interrogate everything: nature, society, and thought itself, with no prejudice or even principle. We are before thought in its totality, unwilling to recognize borders - although never in a pure state, not falling into speculation, into thinking just for thinking's sake.

This translation offers to English readers for the first time the splendid verse of imaginary American author Sidney West, created by Juan Gelman, one of the greatest living poets of the Hispanic world.

Juan Gelman is Argentina's leading poet, but his work has been almost unknown in the United States. This book features the lush and visceral poetry for an English-speaking readership. It is a stark witness to the brutality of power, and his poems reflect his suffering at the hands of the Argentine military government.

Traces the evolution of Gelman's poetry, and his encounter with the political when his son and daughter-in-law were disappeared.
