Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this exploration of cultural roots, family bonds, parenthood, human rights, and freedom, Perez writes from a border community member's perspective about the Zero Tolerance policies that separated thousands of children from their families crossing into the U.S. and without a viable tracking system in place. In many ways, this is an anti-heroic [un]crown[ing] of American sonnets, uncrowning the administration that created and implemented these cruel policies that continue today with other policies and actions. Even as the work uncrowns, it is also an attempt, through the writing of this work, to "crown" or affirm humanity and human rights during these turbulent times and always. This work acknowledges that many may feel their literary art cannot effect social change, and who has the "right" to speak on any issue at all, but ultimately suggests that to remain silent about what is happening in our communities is not a solution either. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

With the River on Our Face (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by University of Arizona Press, Tucson, 2016
ISBN 10: 081653344X ISBN 13: 9780816533442
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Emmy Perezs poetry collection With the River on Our Face flows through the Southwest and the Texas borderlands to the rivers mouth in the Rio Grande Valley/El Valle. The poems celebrate the land, communities, and ecology of the borderlands through lyric and narrative utterances, auditory and visual texture, chant, and litany that merge and diverge like the iconic river in this long-awaited collection. Perez reveals the strengths and nuances of a universe where no word is foreign. Her fast-moving, evocative words illuminate the prayers, gasps, touches, and gritos born of everyday discoveries and events. Multiple forms of reference enrich the poems in the form of mantra: ecologists field notes, geopolitical and ecofeminist observations, wildlife catalogs, trivia, and vigil chants.What is it to love / within viewing distance of night / vision goggles and guns? is a question central to many of these poems. The collection creates a poetic confluence of the personal, political, and global forces affecting border lives. Whether alluding to El Valle as a place where toxins now cross borders more easily than people or wildlife, or to increased militarization, immigrant seizures, and twenty-first-century wall-building, Perezs voice is intimate and urgent. She laments, We cannot tattoo roses / On the wall / Cant tattoo Gloria Anzalduas roses / On the wall; yet, she also reaffirms Anzalduas notions of hope through resilience and conocimiento. With the River on Our Face drips deep like water, turning into amistad an inquisition into human relationships with planet and self.

Camino del Sol. 6 x 9. 104 pages. paperback. Cover design and illustration by Leigh McDonald. keywords: POETRY / LATINA/O LITERATURE. DESCRIPTION - Emmy Perez's poetry collection With the River on Our Face flows through the Southwest and the Texas borderlands to the river's mouth in the Rio Grande Valley/El Valle. The poems celebrate the land, communities, and ecology of the borderlands through lyric and narrative utterances, auditory and visual texture, chant, and litany that merge and diverge like the iconic river in this long-awaited collection. Perez reveals the strengths and nuances of a universe where no word is 'foreign.' Her fast-moving, evocative words illuminate the prayers, gasps, touches, and gritos born of everyday discoveries and events. Multiple forms of reference enrich the poems in the form of mantra: ecologist's field notes, geopolitical and ecofeminist observations, wildlife catalogs, trivia, and vigil chants. 'What is it to love / within viewing distance of night / vision goggles and guns?' is a question central to many of these poems. The collection creates a poetic confluence of the personal, political, and global forces affecting border lives. Whether alluding to El Valle as a place where toxins now cross borders more easily than people or wildlife, or to increased militarization, immigrant seizures, and twenty-first-century wall-building, Perez's voice is intimate and urgent. She laments, 'We cannot tattoo roses / On the wall / Can't tattoo Gloria Anzaldúa's roses / On the wall'; yet, she also reaffirms Anzaldúa's notions of hope through resilience and conocimiento. With the River on Our Face drips deep like water, turning into amistad - an inquisition into human relationships with planet and self. 'In divided times, Emmy Perez's voice speaks not only from America, but from the Americas, north and south. A wise, healing poetry.' - Sandra Cisneros. 'Emmy Perez is a word musician and magician. This book has a powerful pull - it has secret places where part of you will reside. It is a good season when work like this is in bloom.' - Luis Alberto Urrea. 'Emmy Perez's singular voice is voluminous in scope. Some of her best poems are as incantatory as the Rio Grande is long and leave us breathless in a very marvelous and satisfying way. The poet's magical language shields us through checkpoints in an enclave of earth to which many of us have been woefully underexposed. These beautifully rendered poems speak to all of us who have an interest in life, liberty, land, and love.' - Reggie Scott Young. inventory #43047.

Paper America (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by Texas Christian University Press, Fort Worth, 2026
ISBN 10: 0875659659 ISBN 13: 9780875659657
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Paper America: New & Selected Poems gathers the poetic vision of Texas Poet Laureate Emmy Perez, a voice rooted in the landscapes and communities of the TexasMexico border. Drawing from her acclaimed collections Solstice and With the River on Our Face, alongside powerful new work, Perez offers poems that confront the realities of immigration, border walls, cultural invisibility, and violence, while celebrating resilience, motherhood, and the enduring ties of family and heritage. Writing from McAllen and the Rio Grande Valley, Perez continues the legacy of Gloria Anzaldua and Chicana/Latina writers who turned la frontera into a literary ground of strength and survival. Whether she is memorializing the children of Uvalde, reflecting on the river that sustains border communities, or capturing everyday encounters in classrooms and neighborhoods, her lines of poetry are preciouseach one crafted with compassion, clarity, and urgency. With Whitmanesque scope yet firmly grounded in Mexican American identity and borderlands experience, Perezs poetry bridges the personal and the political, reminding readers of the power of words to bear witness, resist injustice, and cultivate hope. Paper America is both an introduction to one of Texass most vital poets and a career-spanning testament to the necessity of art in difficult times. Texas Poet Laureate Emmy Perez gives lyrical witness to the Texas-Mexico border in Paper america, a collection of precious lines of poetry, testaments to resilience and hope.
