Between Words: Juan Gelman's Public Letter (English and Spanish Edition)

Between Words: Juan Gelman's Public Letter (Carta abierta) is a collection of poetic elegies addressed to his son, Marcelo, who disappeared in 1976 during Argentina s dirty war. With an inimitable voice and Argentine rhythms, Gelman works the language to come to terms with sorrow and exile. Created in close collaboration with the author, Between Words: Juan Gelman's Public Letter offers the first complete edition of these poems in English, and the translator's essay and interview with the poet provide valuable insight into Gelman's poetics as well as the translation process.
