The Fox and the Moon: Poetic Anthology, 1981-1999
This volume brings together six poetry collections written by Jose Antonio Mazzoti between 1981 and 1999. Among them is "Castillo de Popa" (1988), which includes a poem — "19 de junio" — that allegorically refers to the prison massacres of 1986. Mazzoti draws on both the voice of the conscience of the subject who embodies society and that of the victims. The poetic "I" dies at the end of the poem within the very act of writing, as a kind of funeral elegy dedicated to these somber events that continue to be a source of controversy in the country.
