Synopsis "Unthinkable Tenderness "

Juan Gelman is Argentina's leading poet, but his work has been almost unknown in the United States until now. In 2000, he received the Juan Rulfo Award, one most important literary awards in the Spanish-speaking world, and in 2007, he received the Cervantes Prize, the Spanish-speaking world's top literary prize. With this selection, chosen and superbly translated by Joan Lindgren, Gelman's lush and visceral poetry comes alive for an English-speaking readership. Gelman is a stark witness to the brutality of power, and his poems reflect his suffering at the hands of the Argentine military government (his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchild were "disappeared"). While political idealism infuses his writing, he is not a servant of ideology.Themes of family, exile, the tango, Argentina, and Gelman's Jewish heritage resonate throughout his poems, works that celebrate life while confronting heartache and loss. "Remembering their little bones when it rains/the companerosstomp on darkness/set forth from death/wander the tender night/I hear their voices like living faces" - from "Remembering Their Little Bones".

Juan Gelman fue un destacado poeta y periodista argentino nacido el 3 de mayo de 1930 en Buenos Aires. Su obra es una de las más importantes de la poesía en lengua española del siglo XX, caracterizada por una profunda carga emocional, compromiso político y exploración del lenguaje.

Desde joven se vinculó a la literatura y participó en movimientos culturales y políticos. Formó parte del grupo de la revista “El pan duro”, donde comenzó a consolidar su voz poética. Su vida estuvo marcada por el exilio durante la última dictadura militar argentina (1976-1983), periodo en el que vivió en distintos países como Italia, España, Francia y México. Esta experiencia influyó intensamente en su obra, en la que aparecen temas como la pérdida, la memoria, la identidad y la violencia política.

Gelman también sufrió la desaparición de su hijo y la apropiación de su nieta, hechos que marcaron profundamente su producción literaria y su lucha por los derechos humanos. A lo largo de su carrera recibió numerosos premios, entre ellos el Premio Cervantes en 2007, uno de los más prestigiosos del ámbito hispano.

Falleció el 14 de enero de 2014 en Ciudad de México, dejando un legado poético fundamental para la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea.
