As Though the Wound Had Heard
Translated from the Spanish by Mar'a José Giménez. "Words rarely fail us. Rather, it's often the other way around. A poem like Mara Pastor's "Man" reminds me of how much we undercut and burden them with the task of unidirectional sense-making. It lodges in my mind-parasitic, tapeworm-like-for its odd humor, unsettling ambiguity, and refusal to budge. The Busts of Mart' is a comedic take on polyvocality. Mar'a José Giménez's translations capture the quirks of Pastor's playful sensibility, and what ensues is buoyancy."--M--nica de la Torre Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Women's Studies.
Deuda Natal
Deuda Natal finds the beauty within vulnerability and the dignity amidst precariousness. As one of the most prominent voices in Puerto Rican poetry, Mara Pastor uses the poems in this new bilingual collection to highlight the way that fundamental forms of caring for life—and for language—can create a space of poetic decolonization. The poems in Deuda Natal propose new ways of understanding as they traverse a thematic landscape of women’s labor, the figure of the nomad and immigrant, and the return from economic exile to confront the catastrophic confluence of disaster and disaster capitalism. The poems in Deuda Natal reckon with the stark environmental degradation in Puerto Rico and th...
Aftermath
Aftermath: Explorations of Loss & Grief is an anthology that weaves together a broad collection of voices to illustrate the many forms of loss. The topics range from the inevitable breakdown of a relationship to an immigrant family struggling to retain their culture as they attempt to assimilate. In their interpretation of the book's theme, the selected stories run the spectrum from heartfelt, raw, and powerful to lighter and humorous. This body of work reveals how, despite the differences of our day-to-day lives, we are all connected. It was named a Bronze Winner 2018 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards.
Red, Yellow, Green
Traumatized by his past as a Bolivian soldier who, in a sudden coup d'etat, was forced to participate in atrocities, Alfredo flees to Montreal, haunted by the dead. He rides the Montreal metro and pours his guilt and shame into his writing, until he falls for a woman without a nation—a Kurdish freedom-fighter trying to blast an independent Kurdistan into existence. As the net of intrigue closes in on his lover, Alfredo is forced to face more fully his own violent past. In a world where the intimate collides with the official and the past is made and remade again in a new country, Alejandro Saravia's novel in turn refuses to be bound by a single genre, style, or even language. Reminiscent of Michael Ondaatje's In the Skin of a Lion in its exploration of the complicated relationship between nation, memory, and identity, Red, Yellow, Green considers what a place can mean to people who are out of place. At once heartbreaking and uplifting, bleak and humorous, Saravia offers a poignant reminder of the power of generosity and love.
