ABSTRACT
The dictatorships of the Southern Cone have given rise to numerous literary texts that narrate the violence that have taken place, serving as testimonies and documents for personal and group reflection. Military violence destroyed the political and economic worlds, labor relations and culture, and it also manifested itself in other fields, such as family ties and exile. In the present text, we discuss the collection of poems Dulce patria, written by me, which, by re-creating the voices of diverse social groups, tells the story of the Chilean military dictatorship (1973–1990). The intention here is to comment mainly on the narrative strategies used in the making of the book.
