Book Description
Excerpt from The Vacant Chair and Other Poems The Vacant Chair. We shall meet, but we shall miss him, There will be one vacant chair: We shall linger to caress him, when we breathe our evening prayer. When a year ago we gathered, Joy was in his mild blue eye; But a golden cord is severed, And our hopes in ruin lie. At our firesides, sad and lonely, Often will the bosom swell At remembrance of the story, - How our noble Willie fell; How he strove to bear our banner Through the thickest of the fight, And upheld our country's honor With the strenght of manhood's might.

Book Description
These twelve exquisite poems depict, with razor-precise clarity, the realities of the "disappeared" in Latin America and the emotional devastation of the families left behind. As human beings, we can find the strength to bury our dead, grieve for them always, and yet somehow move on. Not so with our disappeared loved ones: every moment is filled with the horror of what they must be suffering in some secret torture cell. We never escape from their screams, and we never stop trying to find them. As Margaret Randall so vividly writes, "We cannot move on, for where would they find us when they stumble home?" Estos doce poemas exquisitos representan, con claridad precisa, las realidades de los “desaparecidos” en América Latina y la devastación emocional de las familias que se quedan atrás. Como humanos, podemos encontrar la fuerza para enterrar los muertos, llorar a ellos para siempre y de algún modo proseguir. Pero ésta no es la realidad de la situación de los desaparecidos: cada momento se llena con el horror de lo que sin duda sufren ellos en celdas secretas de tortura. Nunca podemos escapar de sus gritos, pero tampoco podemos parar la búsqueda de ellos. Escribe Margaret Randall, "No podemos seguir adelante; ¿dónde nos encontrarían cuando regresen en casa?"
