<dd><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2>“State of Exile is a
haunting work that sat for decades, awaiting, like cicadas, its proper
season. That time is now.” --Mumia Abu-Jamal <br>
<dd>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 didn’t publish
them for almost 30 years. <br>
<dd>Now, in a collaboration across prison walls, continents and states of
exile, U.S. political prisoner and poet Marilyn Buck has translated Peri
Rossi’s 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.
