A bilingual anthology, Fierce Voice / Voz feroz features Argentine and Uruguayan women poets published after their countries’ return to democracy in the eighties.

This anthology includes established poets as well as emerging poets just gaining attention in their countries and abroad. Fierce Voice / Voz feroz serves to showcase their work and give an English-speaking readership the opportunity to experience the breadth and power of this fierce talent.
