Unthinkable Tenderness: Selected Poems Paperback - 1997 - 1st Edition
by Juan Gelman; Joan Lindgren (Editor); Joan Lindgren (Translator)
From the rear cover
"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 Cortzar
"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
