Clandestine Poems
Roque Dalton
Roque Dalton was El Salvador's greatest poet and a committed revolutionary who was executed in 1975 — not by the government, but by his own guerrilla faction, who accused him of being a CIA agent. Published posthumously, these poems combine political urgency with playful formal experimentation, and Dalton's murder remains one of the left's darkest self-inflicted wounds.
