Jane Duran’s father fought in the Spanish Civil War with the Republican army and went into exile after its defeat. This poem-sequence takes as its point of departure her father’s silence about the war: ‚He lays down his arms. / He raises his arms over his head. / He will not tell.‘ In a constant search for ‚the breath of the unknown‘, the poems move between the present and the past. Professor Paul Preston’s introduction offers a broad outline of the course and significance of the war and places the poems within their historical context.
