Carolyn Forché (born in Detroit in 1950) is an American poet, translator and human rights activist. Her very first book of poems, Gathering the Tribes, won her the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award when she was 24. In 1977 she lived in El Salvador with a scholarship grant and worked for Amnesty International. She used her experiences and impressions from the civil war there for her second book, The Country Between Us. Carolyn Forché is especially interested in the effect of political trauma on poetic use of language. Her anthology Against Forgetting: Twentieth-Century Poetry of Witness collects the work of poets who have lived through the extremes of war, military occupation, imprisonment, torture, forced exile, censorship and house arrest.
Carolyn Forché has translated the work of Claribel Alegría, Georg Trakl, Robert Desnos and Mahmoud Darwish and has been awarded prizes such as the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the Robert Creeley Award. In 1998 she received the Edita and Ira Morris Hiroshima Foundation for Peace and Culture Award in Stockholm in recognition of her commitment to human rights and the preservation of memory and culture. She currently teaches at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and lives in Maryland.
