The Careless Seamstress (Paperback)
Published by University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln, 2019
ISBN 10: 1496214129 ISBN 13: 9781496214126
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This dazzling debut announces a not-so-new voice: that of the spoken-word poet Tjawangwa Dema. Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets, Dema's collection, The Careless Seamstress, evokes the national and the subjective while reemphasizing that what is personal is always political. The girls and women in these poems are not mere objects; they speak, labor, and gaze back, with difficulty and consequence. The tropes are familiar, but in their animation they question and move in unexpected ways. The female body-as a daughter, wife, worker, cultural mutineer-moves continually across this collection, fetching water, harvesting corn, raising children, sewing, migrating, and spurning designations. Sewing is rendered subversive, the unsayable is weft into speech and those who are perhaps invisible in life reclaim their voice and leave evidence of their selves. As a consequence the body is rarely posed-it bleeds and scars; it ages; it resists and warns. The female gaze and subsequent voices suggest a different value system that grapples with the gendering of both physical and emotional labor, often through what is done, even and especially when this goes unnoticed or unappreciated. A body of work that examines the nature of power and resistance, The Careless Seamstress shows both startling clarity of purpose and capaciousness of theme. Using gender and labor as their point of departure, these poems are indebted to Dema's relationship to language, intertextuality, and narrative. It is both assured and inquiring, a quietly complex skein that takes advantage of poetry's capacity for the polyphonic. This dazzling debut announces a not-so-new voice: that of the spoken-word poet Tjawangwa Dema. Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets, Dema's collection, The Careless Seamstress, evokes the national and the subjective while reemphasizing that what is personal is always political.

COSTUREIRA DESCUIDADA, A
Published by Círculo de Poemas, 2023
ISBN 10: 6584574814 ISBN 13: 9786584574816
Language: Portuguese
Condition: New. Usually dispatch in 4/5 days --- Pages: 104 --- Editora: CIRCULO DE POEMAS --- Sinopse: Livro de estreia tão aguardado da poeta e performer de Botsuana Tjawangwa Dema, A costureira descuidada traz como um dos eixos condutores a questão do trabalho: sejam os trabalhos feitos pelas mulheres (como a costura presente no título e em vários poemas), o trabalho da maternidade (concretizado nas muitas mães que aparecem ali), o trabalho do luto, o trabalho de nomear o corpo feminino em culturas patriarcais, ou o trabalho do pai (mineiro que se desloca para trabalhar na África do Sul), seja, ainda, o trabalho dos limpa-chaminés que ganham um poema-bênção nesta coletânea. Isso para não falar no trabalho artístico presente na construção de seus poemas, que envolve cenas da memória e hábitos da infância, citação de mitos e personagens bíblicos, recortes de jornal, diálogos com outros poetas, com filósofos e com a tradição literária. Se o trabalho pode trazer uma dimensão árdua, por outro lado ele se mostra muitas vezes coletivo, trazendo mãos e vozes femininas que convivem, se deslocam, labutam e participam dos diversos rituais que compõem este livro: o casamento, o luto, as formas de cuidado, as tarefas e passagens da vida. E se existe esta dimensão dura na lida diária, a tentativa de dar voz e de criar uma subjetividade para o lugar feminino por meio das palavras resulta numa forma sóbria e terna de olhar para o mundo. Como escreve Kwame Dawes no posfácio do livro, "'A costureira descuidada' é uma boa imagem para o trabalho a que Dema se propõe neste livro. Sua coletânea é repleta de vozes particularmente de mulheres, e às vezes a voz em primeira pessoa poderia muito bem ser a da própria autora, ou de algum outro corpo que ela esteja ocupando." A tradução é de floresta e o texto de orelha de Luiza Romão.
