One of the greatest poets the world has today.' -Jos� Saramago, Winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in LiteratureThis bilingual edition makes Juan Gelman's hauntingly beautiful poetry collection, Notes / Notas, available to English-speaking audiences in its entirety for the first time. Originally published in 1979, Notas / Notes was composed in exile, following the 1976 military coup d'etat in Argentina. This period of state terrorism resulted in the disappearance of writers, comrades, and Gelman's own son. With a deep appreciation for Gelman's masterful linguistic play, translators Afsari and Tandeciarz channel the force of his poetic testimony against the real violence of dictatorship. Interweaving reflections on revolution, loss and memory, Argentina's poet laureate conjures forth a sense of hope in the wake of inconceivable suffering.
