Summary: Ably translated for an English reading audience
Comment: Author of three previous books of poetry in Spanish, editor of a popular anthology of Nicaraguan women poets, author of a book about the concepts of cultural politics during the Sandinista Revolution, and winner of the 1977 Nicaragua National Poetry Prize "Mariano Fiallos Gil", Daisy Zamora is an ably, experienced, and distinctively talented writer whose poetry collected within the pages of The Violent Foam have been ably translated for an English reading audience by her husband and fellow poet, George Evans. Here is a welcome and deserved bi-lingual (Spanish on the right/English on the left) introduction to the work of a woman clearly deserving of as wide a readership as possible. Lullaby For A Newborn Girl Who Died: How would your smile have been?/What would you have learned to say first?/So much hope for nothing!/I had to milk my beasts that were waiting for you.//A hurried photograph/hints at your fresh profile,/the brief mouth./But I can't remember how you were,/how you would have been.//You were so alive moving around/protected in my womb./Now I wake up shuddering/in the middle of the night/--a hollow womb--/clinging to a vague first cry/I heard, anesthetized/in the operating room.
