Formally diverse with echoes of Spanish throughout, this debut collection critiques power and patriarchy as weaponized by the governments of the United States and the Republic of Cuba. In investigating the realities of displacement and inherited exile, Sainz honors her imagined past, present, and future as a result of the "revolution within the revolution"--the emancipation of Cuban women. Through lyric and associative meditations, Sainz anatomizes the unique grief of immigrant daughters, as her speakers discover how family can be a microcosm of the very violence that displaced them. What emerges is a spiritual blueprint for disinheritance, radical self-determination, and the nuanced examinations of myth, ritual, and resistance"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C1191089</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C1191089</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sainz, Leslie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1191089246</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Poems</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781959030119/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Boy Kingdom]]></title><description><![CDATA[These forty-four prose poems, artful yet accessible, presented in both Spanish and English versions, immerse us in the boy kingdom that the Cuban American poet Achy Obejas inhabits with her two sons. Her words move us from the wild and divine spirit of boyhood to the everyday rhythms of family life--toy trucks, television, sick days home from school--and to stories of her Cuban roots and her divorce from her wife. Obejas captures the universal nature of motherhood while also limning the uniqueness of her queer, multilingual, and multicultural family: the way her elder son looks at her as if she's 'dancing with the dead' when she speaks Spanish; her boys' preference for mac 'n' cheese over tostones; the day one of her sons comes home from school disquieted, then finally spills it: 'A couple of boys yelled at him: your moms are queer!' At once intimate and expansive, rendered in vivid and masterful strokes of language, 'The boy kingdom' offers a joyful gift to mothers, sons, and readers everywhere"--Page 4 of cover.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C1344327</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C1344327</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Obejas, Achy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1344327246</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Poems = El Reino De Los Varones : Poemas</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780807017531/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[90 Miles]]></title><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C343230</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C343230</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Suárez, Virgil]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/343230246</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Selected and New Poems</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780822958802/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Directions to the Beach of the Dead]]></title><description><![CDATA["In his second book of poetry, Richard Blanco explores the universal desire for home through evocative narratives, playful musings, and lyrical power.
