He is considered one of Latin America's most compelling poets. He wrote emotionally strong, sometimes sarcastic, and image-loaded works dealing with life, death, love, and politics. In 1975, he was executed by members of the People's Revolutionary Army (ERP) after getting into a dispute with their leader. He is remembered for his bohemian lifestyle and the jovial, irreverent personality reflected in his literary work, as well as his commitment to social causes in El Salvador. Dalton's writing includes almost 15 poetry collections, a novel, a personal testimony, and a play, as well as short stories, critiques, and essays on both literature and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardie St. Martin was one of the most prominent Spanish to English translators of the last century, receiving a Guggenheim Fellowship, a P.E.N International Translation Award, and an ALTA award during his decades long career.
