A certain roughness in their syntax

The poems of Jorge Aulicino combine images of the Dirty War in Argentina, historic Latin American independence struggles, the battles against fascism in Europe, and the ongoing movement of refugees across the globe. This influential book -- published in Spanish as Cierta dureza en la sintaxis in 2008 -- has now been translated for the first time by poet Judith Filc, working closely with Aulicino.--
