Death To Silence/Muerte al silencio converts one poet's struggle with exile from her homeland into a triumph of the human spirit. Emma Sepulveda fled Chile in her last year of college when the military junta led by Augusto Pinochet came to power in 1973. These poems that put an end to silence are filled with longing for her family, her country, her home. They are strong, spare, evocative poems that ask the reader to do more than simply observe. They compel the reader to be a part of her struggle as she moves through the haunting landscape of revolution in Santiago.Death to Silence/Muerte al silencio is a testimony to survival, both now and in the past. There is terror and beauty in these poems; the circumstances that led to their birth are disquieting: torture and death at the hands of the military.
