This is a major new voice.\" -- Margaret Atwood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Country Between Us\u003c\/em\u003e opens with a series of poems about El Salvador, where Carolyn Forch  worked as a journalist and was closely involved with the political struggle in that tortured country in the late 1970's. Forch 's other poems also tend to be personal, immediate, and moving. Perhaps the final effect of her poetry is the image of a sensitive, brave, and engaged young woman who has made her life a journey. She has already traveled to many places, as these poems indicate, but beyond that is the sense of someone who is, in Ignazio Silone's words, coming from far and going far.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolyn Forche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060909269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060909260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/1982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.13w x 0.18d","brand":"Carolyn Forche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042668081407,"sku":"9780060909260","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a7e9951-dc1b-4494-9016-09ffde4097ef.jpg?v=1684962844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-country-between-us-carolyn-forche-9780060909260","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
