Bilingual Edition.\ In these lyrical tributes to Anne Frank's courage and individualism, Chilean poet Marjorie Agosin captures the wrenching paradox of the young diarist's unshakable love of life, a love which endured unspeakable horrors. In this bilingual collection, first published in 1994, Agosin makes the girl's humanity palpable even as it damns the inhumanity of those who perpetrated the destruction around her.
A poetic inquiry into the tragedy of lost youth and the power of memory.
Anne Frank\ when you were just\ thirteen\ you knew death was stalking you;\ you were attentive\ to its signs,\ those fists banging on the shadowy doors.
