These poems transgress illusory borders between lands, languages, humans and the rest of the natural world, waking and dreaming, and the living and the dead as they unearth traces of experience that shape and haunt us, traces we leave behind for others to encounter. Although elegy resurfaces throughout this collection as does a poetics of social consciousness, Cárdenas also embraces moments of levity, story, and an effervescent internal music that balance her steps through fraught yet bewitching terrain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brenda Cardenas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Hen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636280936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards - Silver Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCardenas, Brenda:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrenda Cárdenas\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003cem\u003eBoomerang \u003c\/em\u003e(Bilingual Press) and the chapbooks \u003cem\u003eBread of the Earth\/The Last Colors\u003c\/em\u003e with her husband Roberto Harrison; \u003cem\u003eAchiote Seeds\/Semillas de Achiote\u003c\/em\u003e with Cristina García, Emmy Pérez, and Gabriela Erandi Rico; and \u003cem\u003eFrom the Tongues of Brick and Stone\u003c\/em\u003e.
