A powerful account of the symbolic murder of the poet's mother. From the first poem in this bilingual edition of The Men Who Killed My Mother, it is evident that the mother in "Our Mother" ("Nuestra Madre") is not only Fernando Valverde's. The soulful refrain of "mother/madre" might be anyone's mother whose suffering is palpable in a world legislated over by men. Issues such as orphanhood, abuse, violence, manipulation, and fear are treated with the rawness of someone who has tasted the venom of betrayal. This is a lyrical dark garden of faith and family, exposing treachery and cruelty, and anger at injustice, from the voice of a son with deep love for his mother-for her honor, dignity, and dreams.  Valverde leads us into a forest full of wolves and serpents under the governance of civil society. He has received many awards for his poetry and is recognized as one of the most highly acclaimed poets of his generation in Spain. This heartfelt English translation by Gordon E. McNeer captures the power of Valverde's poetic cadences and its haunting evocative lyricism.
