Unthinkable Tenderness – Selected Poems (Paper)
Autor Juan Gelmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 apr 1997
Gelman is a stark witness to the brutality of power, and his poems reflect his suffering at the hands of the Argentine military government (his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchild were "disappeared"). While political idealism infuses his writing, he is not a servant of ideology. Themes of family, exile, the tango, Argentina, and Gelman's Jewish heritage resonate throughout his poems, works that celebrate life while confronting heartache and loss.
"remembering their little bones when it rains/ the compaerosstomp on darkness/set forth from death/wander the tender night/I hear their voices like living faces"-from Remembering Their Little Bones
