VOLANDO BAJITO

by Alicia Partnoy, Gail Wronsky (Translator)

" Volando bajito is a strong, raw, transparent book that makes us tremble. Readers can feel every poem with their entire body, their entire soul. Alicia Partnoy had to fly low, otherwise she couldn't have tracked down all that blood, all those scattered bones, all those spirits left hanging from the windmills' sails. It is a book of testimonial poems that forces us to remember that tender girl who always waits for us, a girl called Solidarity." ―Claribel Alegría "The terse sensuality of these poems - their gentleness and unflinching courage in the face of devestation, of genocide - is so much more than instructive. It is poetry with the subtlety and insight of our greatest resources, intelligence and compassion." ―Gail Wronsky

Se puede ver su búsqueda de justicia, el dolor de lo que vivió y la tristeza de todo lo que tuvo que dejar atrás.
Resuena muchísimo en mi corazón, que bello encontrarme con esta mujer latina y sus poemas que me hacen recordar que se puede hablar de todo en la poesía, hasta de lo más doloroso.
Nombra todo eso que debe ser nombrado, todo eso que vivió y que no hay que olvidar.
