Small Hours of the Night: Selected Poems

"English-only edition of poems written from exile, prison, and on the run by the Salvadoran revolutionary whose life and word urged love as well as change. Selected from 10 of his collections including two posthumous manuscripts, but none are from Poemas clandestinos (1980). The vital force of the intimate, conversational Spanish challenges the translators. Introductory essays by Ernesto Cardenal, Claribel Alegría, and Hardie St. Martin recommend work for the classroom and the general reader"—Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
