Description
Explore the unparalleled literary journey through *State of Exile*, an evocative collection of poetry by renowned Uruguayan author Cristina Peri Rossi. Born into the heart of the cultural renaissance known as the 'Latin American Boom', Peri Rossi faced adversity when her work was silenced under a military regime in Uruguay. This poignant trade paperback features deeply personal poems that reflect her experience of self-exile and the emotions that accompany the search for identity in a foreign land. First published in 2008 by City Lights Publishers, this book includes two compelling essays on exile—one by the author and another by translator Marilyn Buck, who herself is a poignant voice in the discourse on political imprisonment. The collection is perfect for literature lovers, poetry enthusiasts, and those interested in themes of exile, identity, and resilience. Add *State of Exile* to your library today, and immerse yourself in the rich, thought-provoking words that capture the essence of a spirited journey through exile, where every poem unfolds a world filled with yearning and hope.
