memoria poética

"En esta conmovedora colección bilingüe, el reconocido poeta Jorge Argueta evoca su niñez en El Salvador, el impacto de la guerra en su familia y vecinos, la vida como exciliado en los Estados Unidos y su renacimiento como poeta."--Back cover""I don't know how it happened, but I ended up being the writer in my family," Jorge Argueta says in his poetic memoir. He wrote his first lines as an adolescent, though he didn't know what the words meant or that it was poetry. "But now I see that in putting down those words, I was stepping into a huge world, much bigger than my own: beautiful and mysterious, full of profound joy and infinite possibilities." In this moving, bilingual collection, renowned poet Jorge Argueta reminisces about growing up in El Salvador, the impact of war on his family and neighbors, life as an exile in the United States and ultimately his rebirth as a poet.
