Sumario:This article analyzes the singular responses to a common experience, as expressed in the poetic writings of two daughters of militants and victims of Argentinian State Terror: Alejandra Szir y María Ester Alonso Morales. Their lives are such displayed in three times, like hinges: Revolution/Dictatorship/Democracy, and afterwards in two geographies. Both currently live outside Argentina. Alejandra Szir published Cuaderno in 2009. María Ester Alonso Morales’s first book, Entre dos orillas/Zwischen zwei Ufern, was launched in La Plata in 2015. On the one hand, I question in their poems about how poetic writing makes possible to these women some gestures as writing about how is it to live with/in their fathers’ absence. On the other hand, I examine what poetry can offer in this search.
