Fuel and Fire: Selected Poems 1956–1976

Poetry. Translated by Julia Leverone. Francisco "Paco" Urondo, journalist and militant, used his poetry to witness and denounce the suppressive Argentine state that unrolled its dirty war in the 1970s. FUEL AND FIRE, a selection produced between 1956 and 1976, the year Urondo was assassinated, is subversive poetry, written with humility and humor and accusation and lament. It places blame on an ignorant public, but hope in the hands of individuals who can give themselves over to love.
