You Can't Drown the Fire: Latin American Women Writing in Exile

This is a fabulous book. It contains incredible poetry and prose about human rights issues and feminism from Latin American women - a minority within a minority. Latin American literature is not to be overlooked - its magic realism and powerful symbolism make its artistic value, if not its popularity, easily equal to more well-known American-British literature (or any other literature, for that matter) with which our society seems to be so obsessed. Any lover of poetry or believer in the rights of all human beings should read this book.
