"with very warm regards ." dated 1990) ************************************** These poems are a record of Forche's observations of what was happening in El Salvador. She was closely acquainted with Archbishop Romero, who urged her to return to the United States to tell her country what was truly happeneing in the war-torn Cental American country . to relate the U. S. government's culpability through sponsering brutality against the general population by a regime of militaristic dictators. Archbishop Romera was soon after assassinated. This edition is out of print. *************************************** Denise Levertov had this to say about Forche's poetry : "Here's a poet who's doing what I want to do, what I want to see all of us poets doing in this time without any close parallels or precedents in history: she is creating poems in which there is no seam between the personal and political, lyrical and engaged. And she's doing it magnificently, with intelligence and musicality, with passion and precision." ********************************* Margaret Atwood said: "Here is a poetry of courage and passion, which manages to be tender and achingly sensual and what is often called 'political' at the same time. This is a major new voice." ******************************** Larry Levis said : " Forche's subject, El Slavadore, is one that could havebeen easily sentimentalized or sensationalized by a lesser Poet. And yet it is spoken of here wirh hoensty and tenderness, even amidst its tortures. For these poems are not 'made up' at all, but come from the complexity and mire of human experience." ******************************** SERIES : Perennial Library / TITLE : The Country Between Us / AUTHOR : Carolyn Forché / IMPRINT : Harper and Row / PLACE : New York / DATE : (1982) / EDITION : Third Printing / SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES : Signed and inscribed by the author ("For Carol -With very warm regards - Carolyn Forché - 8 November 1990" ) / STATUS : This edition OP / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Trade paperback; 59 pages; approximately 6" x 9 1/4", photo-pictorial wraps, glued. ****************************************** CONDITION - VERY GOOD - This is a previously owned book, inscribed by author, with the following noted :: EXTERIOR -- Soft bumps to fore-edge corner tips , else bright and attractive. / BINDING -- Solid - slight yawn to front cover. / INTERIOR -- Clean and presentable throughout.
