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.

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.

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.

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.
