"His prolific artistic production, cut off at the age of forty, remains a monumental artifact . . . illustrating his profound conviction that the poet can and must, in his life as well as in his work, serve as the finely-honed scalpel of change, both in word and deed." --Claribel Alegr???a "The most daring and innovative Salvadoran writer and intellectual of the twentieth century." --Jaime Barba Poems of revolution by one of Latin America's most beloved poets Born in San Salvador in 1935, Roque Dalton dedicated his life to armed struggle while writing fierce, tender poems about his country and its people. In Historias y poemas de una lucha de clases / Stories and Poems of a Class Struggle , Dalton offers a road map for a liberated El Salvador, writing through the lens of five poetic personas, each with their own imagined history and distinct voice. This collection shows a country caught in the crosshairs of American imperialism, where the few rule the many and the many fight to survive--and yet there is love and humor and self-mockery to be found here on every page, in every verse, as well as an abiding faith in humanity. "I believe the world is beautiful," Dalton writes, "and that poetry, like bread, is for everyone."
