DESCRIPTION:Join us in a celebration of the literary/poetic legacy of ROQUE DALTON.  
 Roque mixed it up with Diego Rivera in Chile and Fidel in Habana.  On the 
 30th anniversary of his death, Roque is recognized as one of the best 
 revolutionary poets from Latin America.  POETRY & MUSIC  Donation: $5 - $10 
  VENCEREMOS !!!  ...From Mexico, Dalton naturally gravitated to Cuba, where 
 he was well received by the Cuban and Latin American exiled writers who 
 gathered in the Casa de las Américas. From that point on, starting with La 
 Ventana en el rostro and El Mar ("The Sea") in 1962, almost all of his 
 poetic work was published in Cuba. In the summer of 1965, he returned to El 
 Salvador to continue his political work. Two months after his arrival, he 
 was arrested, tortured, and again sentenced to execution. However, he 
 managed to escape death once more when an earthquake shattered the outer 
 wall of his cell, enabling him to dig his way out through the rubble.  He 
 returned to Cuba and a few months later the Communist Party sent him to 
 Prague as a correspondent for The International Review: Problems of Peace 
 and Socialism. His book "Taberna y otros lugares" (Tavern and Other 
 Places), reflecting his long stay in Prague, won the Casa de las Américas 
 poetry prize in 1969 and established Roque Dalton, at the age of 
 thirty-four, as one of the best young poets in Latin America. In 1975, a 
 military faction of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (ERP), accused 
 him of trying to divide their organization and condemned him to death. They 
 executed him on May 10, 1975, four days before his fortieth birthday.  \n
