| The author, Cristina Peri Rossi, was born in Montevideo, Uruguay. She was forced to leave her country at the age of thirty-one when her work was banned and her life was threatened by a repressive military dictatorship, and in 1972 she moved to Spain, where she still lives. This collection of poems, written during her journey to Spain and over the first years of her self-exile, was so personal that it remained unpublished for almost thirty years. State of Exile is infused with the tremendous sense loss and alienation, the terrible doubt, sorrow and remorse that come with the abandonment of one's country, family and friends. And yet, the work is inspired, both by the knowledge that survival is a political, social and human imperative, and by the creative process that occurs when one searches for new reference points, new family and new relationships in the face of persistent nostalgia. The poems are accompanied here by two essays on exile, one by Peri Rossi, written upon their Spanish publication in 2003, and the other by translator Marilyn Buck, an American political prisoner, exiled in her own country. | |
