Let the words spoken tell the pain : post-abitum texts from the collection "Desapariencia no engaña" by Néstor Ponce

The purpose of this article is to introduce an analysis of Néstor Ponce's poems compiled in the book « Desapariencia no engaña » (2010). Forced to flee the country to escape the dictatorship (1976-1983), the Argentinian writer went into exile in France in 1979. With the restoration of democracy, the author did not return to his home country but continued to live in France. More than twenty years after the dictatorship, Néstor Ponce defies space and time to return to that tragic moment in history and takes his pen to remember. Never to forget « los desaparecidos » never to forget the places of torture, never to forget the horror, death. The author goes beyond a memorial work: he gives voice, in this versified present, to prisoners of the past so that they are recognized as 'victims-people' and not as 'desaparecidos-anonymous'. Néstor Ponce willfully ignores the political discourse and creates the neologism « desapariencia »1 which is the association of two words: desaparición (disappearance) and apariencia (appearance). The writer uses words and poetry to respond to the oblivion speech imposed by the dictators.

Keywords: poetry; Argentina; dictatorship; missing people; memory
