Autor von Lima :: Limón
Über den Autor
Natalie Seenters-Zapico's second poetry collection is a lyrical exploration of the intersection between gender roles and desire on the U.S.-Mxico border. Set within the liminal geography of the poet's hometowns of Ciudad Jurez, Chihuahua, and El Paso, Texas, Lima :: Limn fiercely questions machismo mehr anzeigen and marianismo, cultural norms that give way to gender violence and a blind eye turned to femicide. Drawing imagery and characters from songs commonly played in households along the border, Scenters-Zapico considers with fairy-tale strangeness how women live through violence to create a culture of their own, inside and outside of the domestic. In these poems, a speaker's body transforms from flesh to wall to bug to bed, with the kind of magic it takes to survive what wants to kill you. Lima :: Limn makes the invisible visible, creating a loving tribute to women, ancestors, and all those whose labors of resilience go unsung. weniger anzeigen
