Quotes by Claribel Alegría (?)

“Yo, poeta de oficio, condenada tantas veces”
― Claribel Alegría

“¿Qué buscas?
preguntó.
No sabría decirlo
susurré:
el perdón
la mandala
ese perdón que es mío
y no puedo otorgarme
que camina conmigo
y no viene de fuera
ese perdón arisco
que retumba en mis sienes
que me oprime
y hace brotar las lágrimas
que lavan.”
― Claribel Alegría

“God’s country! With Negros treated like animals! God’s country, with its smug sense of superiority to the rest of the world! God’s country, with its mania for material gadgets and signs that warn: “Gentiles only!”
― Claribel Alegría, Ashes of Izalco
