To be a woman in revolutionary Nicaragua meant to take an active role in reshaping a country. Daisy Zamora came out of that experience as a poet who found her own voice in the context of extraordinary popular struggle. Her Clean Slate: New & Selected Poems is a collection that embodies a spirit of personal and political liberation. These 110 poems include works written between the years 1968 and 1993.

Quotes
Precisely
Precisely because I do not have
the beautiful words I need
I call upon my acts
to speak to you.
El final (in the original Spanish because it works so well )
Y tenazmente seguimos buscando los recovecos
adivinando señas queriendo llegar primero al
final del cuento cuando lo verdadero lo único
lo cierto es que no hay no existe no lo sabre-
mos nunca.
The End (English translation)
Tenacious, we keep on searching corners
reading signs wanting to be the first
to reach the end of the story when
what's real what's true what we know
is there is no end it doesn't exist
we will never get there.
A Leveled Field
The suitcase filled with infant's clothes
I kept so carefully,
the little girl crossing the street in her mother's arms,
or the ephemeral sight of a pregnant woman
waiting for a bus.
Whatever meeting/ Spark/ Lights the fire
of this heart caught unaware: dry hay, tinder
reduced to smoking ashes, a leveled field.
From Letter to Coronel Urtecho
I've been sending these words your way
as one would loose a dark and tightly woven braid,
freeing the hair to take flight
upon the wind. ( )
