Voices From The Conflict [El Salvador 1979-1992]
“Blood Soaked Dresses” is a book of poetry by Gloria Mindock that exposes the horror of the Salvadoran conflict especially on women. The El Salvador civil war occurred between 1979-1992 and Mindock gives us a front row seat from the eyes of those lucky ones that survived the atrocities. The author is the editor of Cervena Barva Press of Somerville and the online journal Istanbul Literary Review.
After 25 years of teaching, community organizing, and political activism, H. Susan Freireich went back to school to study public health. She worked in the civilian communities caught in El Salvador’s civil war and is writing a book about the experience. Her work has appeared in Poetic Voices Without Borders and The Best Women’s Travel Writings 2007 and The Best Women’s Travel Writings 2008
