MY MESSAGE by Alicia Partnoy They ask me for my message as though it were a cornerstone or offered some kind of salvation. My message Like the postman like envelopes, I bring only facts: screams torture that great injustice, roots without water the disappeared. My message If they truly insist on it will pour down like a bitter waterfall on their bellies. Then they will either take off walking or stay rooted in themselves waiting for my Message. Alicia Partnoy was born in Argentina. During her time as a political prisoner her stories and poems were smuggled out of prison and published anonymously in human rights journals. Since her arrival in the United States, she had lectured extensively at universities and community groups. She is best known as the author of "The Little School: Tales of Disappeareance and Survival in Argentina,"Revenge of the Apple," and "You Can't Drown the Fire: Latin American Women Writing in Exile.
