 Unthinkable Tenderness
Juan Gelman is Argentina's leading poet, but his work has been almost unknown in the United States until now.
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").
Born in Buenos Aires in 1930, Juan Gelman went into political exile in Europe in 1976, where he remained until 1989.

Although between 10,000 and 30,000 - depending on the source of the estimate - people were ”disappeared” by Argentina's 1976-1983 military dictatorship, the case of María Claudia García de Gelman has drawn international attention because of the intense campaign mounted by her father-in-law, renowned Argentine poet Juan Gelman.
Gelman's daughter-in-law was taken to Uruguay as part of Operation Condor, a coordinated U.S.-backed plan among the military governments that ruled Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay in the 1970s and 1980s, involving cooperation in tracking down, capturing and eliminating left-wing opponents.
José Luis González, the lawyer for the Gelman family, told IPS that it is now a question of waiting to see what the judge decides.

In October, Argentine poet Juan Gelman requested Sanguinetti to investigate the disappearance in Montevideo of his daughter-in-law María Claudia García in December 1976.

In support of Gelman's case, hundreds of intellectuals, artists and journalists from both Uruguay and outside sent letters to the President asking him to follow up the investigations in his role as ‘Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces’.

Now comes the fresh news: Juan Gelman, one of the great voices of Hispanic-American literature, has received the Pablo Neruda Iberian American Award, established in the centenary of the birth of the great Chilean poet, Nobel Literature Prize winner in 1971.

In these times of new airs in the region, a prize for Gelman is also a prize for past history, for the victims and the fighters of the great tragedy that is still pounding the minds of generations of Latin Americans.

 Abstract for Unthinkable Tenderness
The author of twenty books of poetry, Juan Gelman has long been counted among Argentina's leading poets, though all but unkown to English-language readers.
Poetry that reverberates with the melancholy poetics, the wistful, even obsessive, music of the tango--which Gelman has laced with Spanish and Jewish mysticism--its themes are love and exile, torture and the disappearances of the Dirty War, which include the poet's children and closest colleagues.
A new foreword by Eduardo Galeano, along with the translator's preface and a newly translated foreword by Julio Cortázar, introduce these poems; an epilogue by Juan Gelman ends the collection, which is followed by chronologies of Argentina's Dirty War and of Gelman's life and works.

His two paragraphs on Juan Gelman, whose son was murdered and pregnant daughter-in-law disappeared during Argentina's "Dirty War," bring this man's art into clear, tragic focus.
But even here, the compulsively generous author is compelled to enshrine the words of other critics, foregrounding Eduardo Galeano and Julio Cortázar, who describes Gelman's art as "a permanent caress of words on unknown tombs." What a pleasure it is to be inside Hirsch's head!
