STATE OF EXILE
By Cristina Peri Rossi Translated and with an introduction by Marilyn Buck
State of Exile is a haunting work that sat for
decades, awaiting, like cicadas, its proper
season. That time is now. --Mumia Abu-Jamal
In the first years of her exile from Uruguay,
lesbian poet, author, journalist and social
activist Cristina Peri Rossi penned an
extraordinary collection of poems spare,
beautiful poems fueled by the experiences of
forced migration, poems so personal, she didnt
publish them for almost 30 years.
Now, in a collaboration across prison walls,
continents and states of exile, U.S. political
prisoner and poet Marilyn Buck has translated
Peri Rossis poems into English. The poems are
accompanied by two brilliant essays on exile, one
by Peri Rossi, written for Spanish publication in
2003, and the other by Marilyn Buck for this bi-lingual City Lights edition.
