Declassified is an enigmatic, erotic and politically charged collection that finds a shared language between love and espionage: deception, subterfuge, surveillance and risk. 
Mariela Griffor moves between two narratives, a Chilean revolutionary and a contemporary woman living in America's Midwest, drawing on the poet's own experience of exile from Pinochet's Chile. At its heart is love in its many forms, romantic, familial and between friends, and the question of how intimacy survives under pressure and danger. 
Spare and passionate by turns, these poems chart the private wars fought within relationships and the long shadow of political violence.
