Song For His Disappeared Love
Song for His Disappeared Love by Raúl Zurita demonstrates the reality of life in Chile after the rise of the brutal dictator, Augusto Pinochet, in the 1970s. Zurita's verses portray the widespread pain felt by the Chilean people and natural landscape due to the amount of blood shed upon the terrain. Yet despite the violence of the Pinochet regime, both Zurita and the rest of the Chilean citizens choose to prioritize the love and memory of the lost above the many human rights violations.
