Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - MOTHERMORPHOSIS is an exploration of the sublime terrain of mother. Poems situate the reader in the conflict between the idea and reality of what mother is in love, loss, sanity, and motherland.'The extraordinary poems in MOTHERMORPHOSIS place readers in the particular life of a daughter and her schizophrenic mother; however, a larger world, full of war and tenderness, misunderstanding and clarity, vulnerability and empowerment, our world, is present, too, so the book speaks with great urgency for all and to all of us.'--Blas Falconer, author of A Question of Gravity and Light 'Chavez, despite the darkness of her subject matter, is a good enough poet, a powerful enough voice, to make the reader sometimes forget how harrowing these works really are.

These meticulously crafted poems bear witness to the shipwreck that can be a brown girl's childhood, especially with a US-backed Salvadoran civil war, shaming Catholic patriarchs, a mother with mental illness, and unforgiving streets. Yet, she masterfully tells these stories, not with a rapid spilling, but with the measured assurance of having digested the perilous escape--literally, what has not killed her has made her strong. A stunning collection.'--Aya de LeonPoetry. California Interest. Latino/Latina Studies. Women's Studies.…
