Perhaps the most admirable element of Gelman s poetry is the unthinkable tenderness he shows . . . calling upon so many shadows for one voice to lull and comfort, a permanent caress of words on unknown tombs. Julio CortzarAs Juan Gelman s name begins appearing with regularity on lists predicting NobleLaureatedeserving poets, his work has also begun to appear in English. But only now are the most stunning translations of Gelman s poetry being published, and in one substantial volume. Dark Times Filled with Light traces the evolution of a gifted lyrical poets encounter with the political, when the poets son and daughterinlaw become disappeared by the Argentinian government, and the poet must write from both a literal and metaphysical exile.In this posthumously realized labor of love by the legendary translator Hardie St. Martin, Gelman s staggering biography, and the poetics he developed to articulate and survive it, are unforgettably translated into beautiful and accessible poems that, taken together, weave a fragile but healing transformation. There are losses, says Gelman in a moving understatement. The important thing is how returning to them transforms them into something new. Juan Gelman is one of the mostread poets in Argentina, and a noted political activist. Among his most recent awards are the Juan Rulfo Prize, the Pablo Neruda Prize, and the Cervantes Prize.Hardie St. Martin was a master translator. Over his life he translated Pablo Neruda, Luisa Valenzuela, and many other. He also edited the landmark anthology, Roots and Wings.
